Waldorfian

adj. Used to describe a student of the Washington Waldorf School. A school where ungrateful children of the revolutionary hippie generation are "forced" to go. It is cool to bitch about Waldorf and to never actually take the effort or initiative to leave the school. The only people who appreciate the school are the ones who have seen education outside it, or just smart students who look outside the student-induced bubble of Waldorf.

There are many misconceptions about Waldorf, like the amusing but untrue rumours about rampant LSD and weed use among the students (the teachers are another story). And beeswax is not considered the ultimate engineering material by Waldorfians. And Waldorf is not attempting to return the world into a scientifically prehistoric era.

General definition of Waldorf Student: One who has not been able to deal with large social situations outside of Waldorf and has switched only because they will then have "friends", even though said friends are forced to spend every schoolday with them. Orrrrr random people who end up at Waldorf by some Bermuda Triangle fluke. Orrrrrr people who hate Whitman and needed to get a broader and more personal education.

Orrrrr Amrita Campell the bitch who gets away with everything and takes the school for granted like its her job. She needs her own definition. Initiative anyone?

Public School Ignoramus/Thinks One's Intelligence Is Shown Solely In Standardized Tests: Duuude, Waldorfians are hippies yo.

Educated Human: Maybe you should stop worshipping the "highest in the country" tests scores at Whitman and read some classic literature like Neitsche or Locke that has shaped the culture you live in.

Public School Novelty Whore: Can I use clifnotes?

Person: Can you jump in front of a train?
