| EDUCATION
| Imagine a schoo! without computers, and
where music and art are considered to be as
important as maths. Then, think about
| whether you could get used to not watching
television or using a computer at home.
These things are typical of Waldorf schools.
|
| History
The frst Waldorf school was established in 1919
in Stuttgart, Germany, by philosopher Rudolph
10] Steiner, for children of workers at the Weldrt-
Astoria cigarette factory. Steiner belioved that
traditional schools taught children subjects they
| weren't developmentally ready to lear,
| Today, there are more than 900 private Waldorf
| schools in over 40 countries. In addition,
| hundreds of pubic elementary and high schools
Use elements of the Weldorf method.
How Waldorf Schools Teach
Waldorf elementary schools do not give exams
22 or marks. Children lem skis such as kiting
‘and woodwork, They aso sing play instruments,
| dance, tll stories and lear a foreign language.
| Waldort educators belave that these activities
develop coordination, problem-solving skills and
{| creative and critical thinking. Waldorf schools
also emphasise respect for nature.
Formal reading and maths skills ae usually
taught a year or two later than is common
elsewhere, and creative teaching methods are
<0} used. For instance, maths may be taught
‘through games and practical activities, such as
dividing @ cake to share. Computers are rarely
introduced before the 8th grade, and computer
‘se and watching TV at home is discouraged.
45) High-Tech Parents Want Low-Tech Education
Interestingly, many parents with high-tech jobs
| choose Waldart schools for their children, Alan
Eagle, a Google executive whose chieren
ato « Weldort school, once explained to @
‘New York Times reporter trat he thought that it
‘was tdiculous to think that kids would learn to
read or do maths better with computers
Criticism of Waldorf
‘Not all educators are fans ofthe Weldort
‘method. For example, one representative of an
American schools association belioves that
‘computers are essential inthe classroom. She
hhas declared that schools that could afford
‘computers but did not use them were cheating
their children out of full education,

Waldorf schools, however, don't seem to

Yad TING ANVINGVIOA6 EXAM PRACTICE
Aled the text and answer the questions that follow.
The Art of the Video Game
1 The advantages and disadvantages of video games have been debated for many years. Some people think they are
‘educational and, in some cases, therapeutic. Other people criticise them as a waste of time, of Worse, as an
obsession or even an addiction, However, until recently not much attention has been paid to the artistic merits of
this genre.
11] Are video games an art form? The five classical at forms are painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry.
More recently, cinema has been added to this list. As well as being pleasing to the senses, art attempts to convey
the artists ideas or feelings. Since video games combine so many elements of classic art, many people think that
they should be considered art. Music is an important part of most games; the visuals reflect a modern type of
“painting” or “sculpeure”; and the storylines are a form of “literature”. And, just as in classic art, the games present
the creators’ ideas. However, early game creators considered themselves engineers or computer programmers rather
than artists.
In] So why has this genre not been generally recognised as art? One reason is that video games are created for
‘commercial purposes to be purchased for a prices therefore, critics say, they cannot be “pure” art. However, many
other artists were similarly criticised, although their works too were designed to make money: Michelangelo was
well-paid for his paintings and sculptures, while many 20th-century film directors have become well-off from their
work. Another objection concems the interactive nature of video games. Since cach develops differently according
to how it is played, critics claim itis impossible to classify ic as art. But cach person's reaction to any work of art is
different and may change from one time to another — just as cach player’s game is different. This docs not mean |
that the original product is not art. |
'V| Today, the question should not be whether or not these games are art. They have alrcady been recognised as such f
| in exhibitions presented by major US museums, The question, rather, should focus, as with all at, on what is good |
| and what is not 3
