I wish I could experience working with a group of Steiner educated people. I wonder if there would be any measurable differences? There seems to be a void of research that compares alternative education models, or measures their pros and cons. Indeed, how could we measure it? Well, we could, but it would be an expensive project. So its just left up to the staff room rumours.. "oh, I taught a homeschooly last year.. they really struggled with the social stuff" type lines.. Some people observe trends in private school educated kids arriving in university.. I wish I could remember the link, but it was an Australia study that revealed that privates were a high % of university drop outs... but no link, so best disregard that, or see if you can find it. I dunno what it would say for this except to help show that you are right - prior schooling experiences can really make or break your further education experiences. All this goes to show how mammoth the task is to try and change the institutionalised education model. The Internet that we know is going to have to be around for at least 100 years before it will effect a change generationally. Perhaps that a good and rigorous time frame? My first thought was, gee..
