Student Response To My Question:  "What Did Our Class Mean To You?"

What Our Class Meant To Me: 

I hold a special place in my heart for this class because I feel like we spent so much time together during some of the most important years of our early development. Even after more than 20 years apart, when I see people from our class today, it feels like no time has passed at all—we can pick up right where we left off, almost like family. Those were incredibly formative years for me, and I believe that the experiences we shared and the environment we grew up in helped shape many of the characteristics and behaviors I carry with me as an adult. I also see those same positive qualities in so many of my former classmates: kindness, thoughtfulness, compassion, and a genuine care for others. There is something really special about knowing that we grew up together and that those early years continue to connect us in meaningful ways.  from Ami Zagata

It has been much too long since I have added to this blog.  Time has passed and we are all witnessing the results of our current public education protocols. A system that creates winners and losers through mandatory testing produces a culture that is filled with profound divisions.  I do not see in mainstream media, however,  much awareness of the role that education is playing in the breakdown of our democracy.

In a few weeks the class that I led through the grades at Marin Waldorf School will celebrate their 20th anniversary . That we can come together on Zoom to celebrate with at least 20 class members on the call is a statement about the community we created. Some of the members are still close friends who see each other often.  I am going to ask them to write something for this blog.  Please feel free to join us in the process to comment or ask questions.  
Trust Children sums up what I have to share.  I look forward to hearing from all of you. Sending love,  Anne
