i am not all into steiner. i cut the course because the demands to the teacher were overwhelming. I am more interested into montesori now. your dr asher approach is really interesting and makes me think of charlotte mason's method which i didnt know up to recently. cheers.
i didnt go to steiner school but i was very interested that i did two years in pedagogy course for steiner school teachers. my experience with reading is that you can really twist a little person's imagination/world by pushing letters and words (he's never heard) ifor a memoristic style of litteracy. thats the reason i really dont enjoy and really strain myself for reading
as i said every education is spiritual. but "materialistic education" could be an education focused on the performance of the kids, on what brings him to get money as fast as he/she can, pushing him to "GROW UP!" not focusing on environment, nor social rules/values. perfectionism too early, pushing too early technology in the face of childhood, sets little "real" importance in arts. all this wears down the child's core and makes him vulnerable for the future.
Oh ok I get you, I just didn't understand your concepts, but anyway I don't think Steiner is really going to provide you with that since they're trying to push an agenda. I think that you would be more interested in Dr. James Asher's approach to education. Here's an interview watch?v=B7K0KctKJtc is about languages but it's really about education.
pedagogy IS spiritual wether you want it or not... every content you teach comes from an idea, that comes from a person, so what you get taught is the spirit of that idea... if the teacher is unaware of this because he is too much of a materialist he might be just hammering on his students heads with every content he tries to teach them ... and the parents who don´t want this are just so egoistic that they think their child has to think exactly like they think
Public schools have never been secular. No different from chaplains in public school or youth groups canvasing for recruits. The concern should be to ensure the children are literate and not behind 3rd world standards.

Interesting. When you start to define religion, all the things we call science or medicine may get included.

So... what is material education?
@sooohum Only if you're being VERY generous (I'd say sloppy) with your definition of religion.
non material?
