Interestingly, the day after

Interestingly, the day after this class and discussion I met some one who went to a Waldorf school. We were studying together for an exam and it was interesting to see how differently we learnt and studied. She was quite comfortable and perfectly prepared for the exam just based on our discussions of the material. On the other hand, I had had gone to a learn-facts-and-spit-them-out school and wanted to obsessively go over everything till I had memorized it all. However, another interesting thing that she mentioned was that most of her friends from Waldorf didn't end up going to college and that how sometimes coming into normal colleges from Waldorf schools sometimes does present a challenge.
