#steiner schools

having gone to a waldorf school (also known as a steiner school) i trust you, but can’t relate.

the nurse was there, but she loved using alternative medicine, and in particular, Weledas Arnika Salve as a cure - all, which honestly, is scarier than any cryptid

[the smell of the arnika salve is enough to make any waldorf school kid tense!]

worst of all though, she enjoyed to rec läkeeurytmi as a cure for all arnika could not solve (chronic things like, a bad personlity or scolicios.)

i was once sent to läkeurytmi as a kid but i refused going, because i had heard it was hella dull. spoiler: it was the correct choice

once, i did go to for scolicios. what we did during läkeurytmi was to go in a circle and wave my arms in a spesific order while she read a poem. it was very ineffective as for help for scolicios (which i do actually have…)

thanks for nothing school nurse!

läkeurytmi in action. i did that exact motion for several months during the weekly session. she also read a poem while i did it. it was not very effective.

i loved going to a waldorf school, and do not regret it in any way, but damn the  anthroposophic medicine used by my school, was some extra bullshit.

(i want to state, just so we are clear, that the usage of anthroposophic medicine was not forced by the school. but my parents, believe in it, which is why the encouraged me to use it.

forexemple, when i refused to go to läkeurytmi as a young kid, despite that my parents had approved of the läkeurytmi, and wanted me to go, the school personell did listened to my refusal, so i did not need to go.
