300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Thirty-Sixth Meeting 04 Oct 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Laziness occurs in other schools also, but with the understanding common among the students and teachers in those schools, this loss of control does not occur there.
There was not one person there who knew that there had been the crusades. I understand something different with the idea of being awake. They had no idea at all about how the Crusades began.
At a certain point in time, we come out of the proper understanding of the class and fall into simply lecturing. We leave the living connections behind. Things would have been more understandable had you brought up Jakob Böhme today.

A teacher: The disturbance is actually outside class. They have attempted to undermine the school work. Dr. Steiner: We need to substantiate that in a kind of summary of today’s discussion.
He would get a warning at every other school, and under certain circumstances, a warning would be given upon a second occasion. Since we never gave him a warning, but immediately expelled him, we cannot proceed the way other schools do.
Two teachers make a report. Dr. Steiner: I don’t understand the connection. We must understand things, otherwise there is no possibility of forming a judgment.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Thirty-Eighth Meeting 15 Oct 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

These are the things I am always referring to that arise from our position and make it possible to undermine the anthroposophical movement. The question is whether we want to create something that would help undermine the movement. The anthroposophical movement will not be undermined if we expel some students. It would, however, be undermined if people say things that we cannot counter.
This is a serious thing, as otherwise it will really be too late to get the situation under control.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Thirty-Ninth Meeting 28 Oct 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Only if we base our pedagogical methods entirely upon the development and understanding of human beings, can we achieve what is possible. It is easier to ruin what is good than it is to turn around what is bad.
He knew a lot about mathematics and physics, but had no understanding of anything else. He didn’t know anything except Bohemian, German, physics and mathematics. These are things we need to do.
A teacher: I have an English girl in my 6b class who does not understand German. Dr. Steiner: You need to make her parents aware that they need to bear the consequences.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Fortieth Meeting 24 Nov 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

As I said, I thought that would be possible. Then you said it is not possible without undertaking some changes. Now, it seems that its not at all necessary to offer Latin and Greek for the examination.
In the future, I would like to handle that in principle. In every class, there are undernourished children. The children in the first grade were born in 1915. The health of the children born in 1914 has suffered some. That was a shock. Now we have those who are undernourished. People should have seen this coming in 1916. The war went on too long. I would like to give a basic overview of this topic, the basis of school health.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Forty-First Meeting 05 Dec 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

That is only because of his long sentences. An Austrian can understand having such long sentences in a book. Sometimes you have to stand on your head in order to understand such sentences, but Steffen does not like that.
A sense of touch enters the understanding of tone. The spiral, which is filled with liquid, is a metamorphosed intestine of the ear. A feeling for tone lives in it. What you carry within you as an understanding of language is active within the eustachian tubes that support the will to understand. Tone is primarily held in the three semicircular canals.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Forty-Second Meeting 09 Dec 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

If you can show them that, they will slowly gain some respect. No Englishman can understand the German nature. They do not understand it, they have no concept why we see something in a lecture that we associate with conviction.
I would try to make them understand, in a polite way, of course, that it is unimportant to me if they find the class not well done.
I have mentioned this in some of my lecture cycles, as well as Poor Heinrich, which can also be treated historically as a theme of the willingness to sacrifice. A moral understanding of the world coincided with the physical understanding of the world, something that was lost in the next cultural period.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Forty-Third Meeting 17 Jan 1923, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Because of the size of the gymnasium, we were unable to keep the two classes under control. We do not think there is any advantage in continuing in this way. In addition, we also need the gymnasium for teaching eurythmy some of the time.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner II: Forty-Fourth Meeting 23 Jan 1923, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Of course, we cannot completely fulfill the ideal at this stage, but it seems to me that it would be good to at least have that ideal before us so that we could move toward it, at least in our thoughts, and that in the end we would do something in that direction. I would ask you not to understand what I have to say the way many things have been understood. For instance, when I said that this or that is a difference between eating meat or vegetables and people immediately began to promote vegetarianism as a result.
Things look terrible now, but if you have an ideal before you, at least under some circumstances, you can work in that direction, even if it takes a century. It is better to have a good woodcut than much of what is hanging now.
Everyone needs to recognize that is much too little. People need to understand that a really enormous amount of time is used to prepare for school. From that, it seems that preparation is difficult.

Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

I differentiate them from the music rooms, although there may be conflicts in our case. Under certain circumstances, we may teach music in the eurythmy room, but that would be only temporary.
L.: I would be happy to do that if it would be useful. Dr. Steiner: If I understand things correctly, we designated a preparatory committee. We cannot leave everything in the air.
Steiner: But that can only mean complete distrust. A teacher: I understood Y.’s proposal as the beginning of a debate. Dr. Steiner: The work of the committee ends today.
