Discovering Waldorf Series

Over at The Magic Onions, in case you haven't been, there is a fantastic series of essays named Discovering Waldorf.  I love reading these essays because they are all by differing points of view centered around the broad theme of Waldorf education.  Waldorf and Montessori education systems are often compared in casual conversation.  I would really like to have my daughter go to a Waldorf play group, for example, and a few of my friends have said, well there is a Montessori one down in the next village.  Both are alternative to the norm and have some similar aspects but as this article demonstrates, they are far apart indeed.
