This message board on Mothering tells of the "darker" side of Waldorf.
It's a little depressing. I feel slightly disillusioned, like when I had a crush on a Mormon and then
read everything about Mormonism I could, and fell into threads where people mentioned being physically threatened and ostracized by former family and friends. I guess anything one can get too deeply into runs the risk of going too far.
Naturally I still love wooden toys and fairy tales. But I will keep my disclaimer "waldorf-inspired" and not adopt the philosophy. It's the wooden toys and colors that attract me, anyway.
It sounds like some of the schools are breeding ignorance. Sad.
I doubt that Liam cares if our table is light or dark wood. Although on a side note, we are sanding it down, and I hope it looks decent enough for meto wax it, and enjoy the natural wood look. I will probably just paint the legs, instead of sanding in the grooves. I'll post a pic when it is done.
