Leaving Waldorf

We pulled our daughter out of the Waldorf School this week. It was a sad and at times agonizing decision, but I'm ultimately glad we did it. We still like the materials and methods, but we had a realization at New Parent night that set the tone for our decision making sessions. Jen said it best: there were all of these parents there, saying things like "I just want my child to be loved" and "it just feels like a big family here." But we actually are the family already and we actually love our daughter already. I can appreciate that you may want those things at school too, and we do. We just felt that we had an amazing abundance realization --> we can make that change and create that environment almost anywhere else. We don't have to pay large sums of money for it and we don't need detailed instructions on how to do it. To me it was like realizing you can grow a lot of your own food. It's cheaper, fresher, and surprisingly uncomplicated. "Spring comes and the grass grows all by itself."
