“The children are encouraged and expected to expend a good deal of time and effort to create these books.” – Rudolph Steiner Curriculum Guide
Now I understand why I love to write.
I was given an opportunity, from a young age, to create a book. Our Main Lesson books, at Steiner, where we handwrote the lessons of the subject we were studying at the time, whether it was history or geography, were, to some degree, our own creation:
“Each student thus creates his or her own textbook for every subject.”
It all begins to make sense.
