Why Did You Send Me To That B*&$!! of a School? BLUNTmoms Article
I fell in love with the Waldorf school’s orderly and technology-free classroom that smelled like freshly-baked bread.
I fell for the place during the Open House, even though the apron-clad teacher, swirling a huge spoon in a bubbly vat of soup, seemed intent on casting magic spells on my trusting 5-year-old son.
Perhaps I was the one bewitched.
As soon as I visited the Kindergarten class with Michael for the first time, I wanted to gobble up the organic quinoa-and-pork dish the students cooked up for snacks. I longed to don some comfy slippers stashed in my cubby, then hang out on the braided rug and knit finger puppets all day. I was ready to give up my “Marriage was his idea” T-shirt and sport slogan-free clothing, as dictated by the school.
I was even willing to leave my cell phone in the car before I entered the school–to comply with the ban on all things electronic. I was also certain the book-free classroom would somehow be a superior way of learning–even though Michael loved books more than anything in the world.
