The students will return to class after their suspension..."

Waldorf teaching is a holistic approach to education that de-emphasizes standardized tests, instead incorporating the arts and imagination.

No charges were filed, but a school resource officer spoke with each of the students about the seriousness of their plot.

Does EVERY school have it's own cop now?

Were they going to force their classmate to eat a Moochelle lunch? That might do it.

This is from the school's website. The Waldorf system is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner, who was seriously involved in the occult, among other things.

Our aim is to provide a holistic learning environment and demonstrate that all children are natural and inspired learners who can achieve. We use curriculum based on the Waldorf educational philosophy that uses developmentally appropriate approaches and the arts to encourage academic achievement, creativity, social intelligence, and ecological awareness.
Winterberry is a member of the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education (APWE). On the website are great public Waldorf resources including a total alignment of the Waldorf curriculum and the Common Core.

While a six-year-old does not really have the understanding of what it is they are doing, personally were I the principal of that school, I would not allow them to return under any circumstances for the safety and well being of the other children. This is going to cause a great deal of stress for the persecuted child, one that he/she should never have to go through. We would not subject an adult to be around three people who tried to murder him, would we? Why should we ask a child to accept this?

Indeed those 3 children should each be sent to a separate school. The parents of those children should agree that those three children should NEVER see each other again throughout the duration of their childhood.

When they have reached an age of accountability, those childrens’ records need to be sealed so they do not go into adult life under any stigma.

LOL!

Tough to top that one.

Am I correct taking an educated guess that silica gel is pretty much inert? Luckily, there were no budding geniuses among those first graders...

Dispose of anyone who annoys them. Stalin and Pol Pot would be proud.

Whoa! First graders? Children both know too much and not enough. They know how to maim, to kill, to murder, yet they don’t understand consequences or know how to empathize, etc. Whoa...

Waldorf or Steiner schools operate in accordance with the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, who founded the first Waldorf school in 1919. Steiner was an occultist who claimed to have precise knowledge of the spirit realm thanks to his “exact clairvoyance.” He laid out his spiritual “discoveries” in such books as OCCULT SCIENCE - AN OUTLINE. He called his body of teachings “Anthroposophy,” a word (pronounced an-throw-POS-o-fee) meaning knowledge or wisdom of the human being.

Steiner claimed that Anthroposophy is a science, although in fact it is a religion involving prayers, meditations, gurus, reverential practices, and spiritual observances. Waldorf school faculties usually acknowledge that their educational approach arises from Anthroposophy, but they usually deny that they teach Anthroposophical doctrines to their students.

There are several Waldorf Critic websites. These schools believe in and elevate karma. Bullying is considered karmic for both victim and perpetrator. They counsel acceptance from all involved.

Google Waldorf Critics. This is going on in a lot of places and often under the guise of publicly funded Charter Schools.

Waldorf is very trendy and supported by the organic, Whole foods, SJW types. The private, non-charter schools offer scholarships, so the wealthy parents pay for the poorer students. Once entrenched, they simply expand.

Waldorf = wackadoodle

Why were the kids let back in? Did their daddies donate a boatload of money to the school?
