Language
This site’s default setting is UK English. The author uses British spelling, vocabulary and expressions in all her writing, including her teacher guide A WALDORF DIARY.
The differences in UK and US English can be confusing if neither is your first language, but the internet offers helpful lists to determine what’s what: pupils = students, marking = grading, break = recess, class = grade, maths = math, holidays = vacations … The list is long and fascinating.
Google’s automatic translation service makes this website available in many languages, but not the content of A WALDORF DIARY.
These translations are not entirely true to the original wording, and they may in some instances be approximate or plain wrong.
The author cannot be held responsible for inaccuracies and errors in the automatic translation service, nor for any resulting misunderstandings.

Users who prefer not to check the form’s consent box will have to enter their name and email address every time they post a comment.
If you are using the Gravatar service, your profile picture will be made visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Comments are welcome, so do not hesitate to add your thoughts. The author looks forward to hearing from you, and other readers will be interested in your contributions as well.
You may use any version of English, as long as it is comprehensible and polite.
Do not include weblinks in your comments. They will be removed.
The author reserves the right to edit comments at her discretion.
Your comment is held for moderation and will become visible when approved.
Should you read one of the author’s blogposts on social media and leave a comment there, do take a moment to copy that comment to the relevant page of this website. Your comment will soon go under on social media, but here it remains visible and valued.
Remember that comments on this site are public, and be careful not to disclose personal information.
Restrictions
Depending on its content, not every comment is bound to be approved. Which comments are appropriate is determined by the author at her sole discretion and without giving notice.
Disparaging, untruthful, vulgar, defamatory and obscene comments will be sent straight to the cosmic compost bin, so don’t bother to write them. It’s better for your karma too.
The same fate awaits any comment that slanders Rudolf Steiner or tries to perpetrate the falsehood that he had a racist view, attitude and agenda.
Note: The Commission on Anthroposophy and the Question of Race, led by a human rights lawyer, presented its report to the Council of the Anthroposophical Society in The Netherlands in the year 2000, stating that “the work of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) contains neither racial doctrine nor statements made for the purpose of insulting persons or groups of people because of their race, and which could therefore be called racist (…) Suggestions that racism is inherent in anthroposophy (…) have been shown to be categorically incorrect.”
Ever since, those who continue to ride this particularly dead horse prove that they are either ignorant of the facts or misinformed, or else maliciously motivated.
