Back in the heartland, a Chicago Waldorf School Mother is speaking out
and writing about how in a changing world Waldorf education actually
does better than mainstream education in preparing children to be
successful in the modern economy.  Judy Lubin, a storyteller and a PhD
in economics,the University of Chicago, is focused on addressing
Waldorf's (undeserved) image of being "soft" and "not academic", to
address questions such as:  Does Waldorf education prepare children for
the "real world"?  What will the "real world" look like when they get
there?  Below is a link to Dr. Lubin's article in the Research Bulletin
for Waldorf Education.
