Learn by Listening

Steiner schools encourage creativity and free thinking, so children can study art, music and gardening as well as science and history. They don’t have to learn to read and write at an early age. At some Steiner schools the teachers can’t use textbooks. They talk to the children, who learn by listening. Every morning the children have to go to special music and movement classes called “eurhythmy”, which help them learn to concentrate. Very young children learn foreign languages through music and song. Another difference from traditional schools is that at Steiner schools you don’t have to do any tests or exams.

Education in the USA
1. Americans have always shown a great concern for education. Here are some figures to support this statement. Today, there are 43 million pupils and students in public schools at the elementary and secondary levels, and another 6 million in private schools throughout the country. In other words, 88% of American children attend public schools (financed by the government) and 12% go to private schools. Every year about 12 million Americans become students in over 3,000 colleges and universities of every type: private, public, church-related, small and large, in cities, counties and states.
2. The United States does not have a national system of education. Education, Americans say, is «a national concern, a state responsibility and a local function». It means that most educational matters are left to the separate states or the local community. In general, colleges, universities and schools, whether state or private, are quite free to determine their own individual standards and requirement. The major result of this unusual situation is that there is a lot of variety in elementary, secondary and higher education throughout the nation. For example, although all states today require that children attend school until a certain age, it varies from 14 to 18 years. In other states they only use the teaching materials approved by the state Board of Education. Some universities are free to residents of the state; others are expensive, especially for out-of-state students, with tuition fees of thousands of dollars each year. Some school systems are extremely conservative, some very progressive and liberal. These and other important differences must always be considered while describing American schools.
3. Because of the great variety of schools and colleges, and the many differences between them, we cannot speak about a typical American school or college. Yet, there are enough basic similarities in structure among the various schools and systems to give some general comments. Most schools start at the kindergarten level at the age of 5. The elementary school goes from age 6 to 11 or 12. This is usually followed by a middle school or Junior High School. High schools include 3 or 4 years, usually until the age of 18 (unless a student «drops out» and doesn’t graduate, that is earn a high school diploma). There are almost always required subjects and sometimes students at more advanced levels can choose some subjects. Pupils who do not do well often have to repeat courses or attend summer support classes which are also called «make up» or remedial classes.
4. Like schools in Britain and other English-speaking countries, those in US have always stressed «character» or «social skills» through extra-curricular activities, including sports.
