My son sits on the sidelines happily smacking his action figures together while the other kids run hard, laugh out loud and attempt shots on the goal. Out there in the soggy Oregon grass, the players are pushing themselves beyond …
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.
