How important is happiness in the classroom?

Many thanks to our Waldorf colleagues at the Essentials in Education Blog for this post, which illuminates one of the great challenges in how we evaluate the success of our children’s education these days.  What a child experiences as they move through their day often has a more lasting impact than the content they are tested on to measure success. If only there were a standardized test that could also measure curiosity and engagement.
