Horrible, yet with a happy ending. The teacher in question came to her
senses shortly after I spoke with her. Embarrassment more than anything,
probably. It’s easy to be cruel and behave badly when none of your peers
are aware of what’s going on.
And several of the seventh grade students all gathered round me one
recess, begging me to be their teacher. That was nice... for me, anyway
;-)
Now: I don’t understand your “Anthroposophical dogma thing of breaking
the child’s spirit” comment. It’s not ‘spiritual science’ to break
spirits and what have you. Again, I used that story as an example of how
it’s a question of bad teachers, not bad philosophy.
