30
And just like other Waldorf schools, you put freedom and art in focus.
31
For the whole pedagogic is a question about the young people.
32
But at my school, it took me a lot more, much longer.
33
Instead of ordinary training, we had players and big skådespel that could take over the whole school.
34
Like Drak-leken. Or Antilop-dansen.
35
More art from here.
36
More fun.
37
Normal training is dangerous.
38
People are idiots about pushing us on the way we do now.

Death house is coming!
43
The death house who was chosen to be dead as a loop was the ones who could be very beautiful.
44
And you could have a side-sjawl dance with them when you were dead of the pig.
45
It was the status of the role.
46
I feel the feeling of being chosen.
47
My class teacher Merete often chose me to play the role in our school pieces.
48
But many of my schoolmates had a feeling of wrongness in the eyes of teachers.
49
What did it actually do if you were seen as a right or a wrong sort of child?
50
When I was little, I went to a school called Solvik School.
51
I said that you didn't talk about it.
52
I said that you didn't talk about it.
53
What should I do for something?
54
A cat.
55
Look at the cat's head.
56
Oh, oh.
57
At school where I went, you couldn't do cats like that.
58
You could do it first.
59
It was just one of the things you could do.
60
You could do it like this.
61
You could do it like this. So.
62
I could just get the ears.
63
The whole school was on an anarchistic level.
64
It was about the world.
65
while it was in this system incredibly regulated.
66
We had very best wishes, despite all freedom and so on, about what was good and what was not so good.
67
We played a lot.
68
And then we didn't decide what we would play from the beginning.
69
We would just play a lot of different colors and colors.
70
You would always start from the outside and spread out.
71
You would find where the edge went with the wax clip.

If you were to paint a horse, you wouldn't paint a horse.
73
Then you would paint a horse.

You would start with a clud.
75
Then you would say, here should your back go.
76
It was a lot of like, so you should do it, so you should be.
77
This is a good person.
78
It could be such things like piano is bad.
79
It's a state instrument and you don't see what happens.
80
You didn't play football.
81
But it was great to play football.
82
As a child I didn't think about these rules.
83
But with what I know now, I can't let me ask how they were affected.
84
It was a lot of regals and they were never written.
85
So to find them was impossible.
86
You had them either in your own, or you didn't have them.
87
And then you couldn't...
88
It was not a manual.
89
It was impossible.
90
I didn't understand how I could do it.
91
I know it happened several times in our class.
92
People came from from here and they didn't know how they were talking about.
93
I remember I was a bit scared and didn't really understand how things were together.
94
I realized that I was not a so-called student in Solvik.
95
My teacher said that when I started class, I thought I hope it's not a bly, afraid girl, but a tough girl.
96
And then she realized that I was a afraid girl.
97
I felt that I was wrong.
98
When I met Linda, I felt that it was not only about rules for what we had to do.
99
It went deeper than that.
100
It was like we children in the eyes of our teachers could be wrong without we could do anything about it.
101
We sat around the bedspice.
102
We just said, but you are a lesbian.
103
Or you can't talk.
104
It was a kind of a loss of a loss.
105
I was extremely upset with my friends, but she tried to get out of me.
106
I was not good enough in her ideal.
107
Where did these ideals come from?
108
Why was it so important for the school to live up to them?
109
Hello?
110
In the Facebook group, many of these students talk about the teacher Helena.
111
And how she uses these ideals to lift or reduce their students.
112
When the Facebook group came, what were the pieces that took hardest or felt most?
113
It's just that I manipulate and have favorites.
114
I'm a favorite of the people who don't die.
115
I could have done it but completely completely.
116
I just walked with something.
117
My own knowledge about how I was, it has been affected them.
118
My own security has been affected other students.
119
I've been asking for more than I could.
120
I didn't know better.
121
Helena was only 25 years old when she started school.
122
Maybe she said that she just walked with something.
123
She completely unnamed the ideal.
124
When I look at my young people's eyes now, it was very much about being able to be with the group.
125
I was told that I would be able to create this new school.
126
What did Per say?
127
What did Merete say?
128
That's the most important thing for me.
129
The idea of the idea, the categorization, the rank and the order, what is that?
130
I've got a really good shot around the whole time.
131
I know that you say it's true.
132
That the Elevohan has been sponsored or not.
133
If you want to be such a way and such a way, that you have been strongly recognized.
134
I have understood that many have felt like that.
135
Where do you think it comes from?
136
I don't understand it.
137
I don't know it.
138
I'm going to...
139
It's like all the way leads to Per.
140
But it stops when I come here.
141
I think about what Merete said.
142
The school has a very dark side with such an ideal.
143
About how it should be and how it should change people.
144
How it should be and how it to change people.
145
I think about all the games and all the activities we had in school.
146
All the children sat around the wall.
147
One or two children would be in the middle of the other to look at.
148
What was the idea of everything?
149
You couldn't put the hands in, you couldn't get out of the room, you couldn't go too fast, you couldn't move me.
150
And then they could suddenly say...
151
God, what...
152
And they go, look at them, they go. And the other children...
153
I had
154
something called the bänken.
155
Mm.
156
It was a horrible danger.
157
You knew that if I didn't get me, then it's the bank.
158
You sat on a bank in the middle and everyone sat around around.
159
First, you could tell something about yourself, something that was a mystery or difficult to tell.
160
Then you could go around and tell each other of your family's family how you felt about your relationship.
161
Then when you were finished, all of them would tell what they thought about them. And it was that...
162
...that could be very emotional.
163
I was often the one who was in the middle of the ring.
164
And it was quite a bit of a hets of...
165
...to try to grieve and so.
166
And it was incredibly hard, I thought.
167
It felt like an experiment.
168
I felt very experimented.
169
I don't know how long it was, but it felt like an eternity.
170
All these girls were just saying everything that was wrong on me.
171
All students needed to say something.
172
I talked to a friend who was with me, and she went away.
173
She didn't want anything to say, but she was forced to say something out of the teacher.
174
Otherwise it would be a risk that she would be there.
175
If you were a really vast, you would have a little thumbs up from her.
176
It seemed like the teachers were trying to make the students for the same situation.
177
and that it would help them to change.
178
We had Mereta.
179
When it was about Benkans, I answered Mereta.
180
There were several teachers who had been assigned their students for the bench.
181
But both Linda and Elsa had my teacher Merete in this exercise.
182
It's hard to take in.
183
Why did she put the students for this?
184
She was always my guarantee for tryggness.
185
It was so much shit.
186
It was a try to relax and say how it actually is.
187
To dry the air?
188
Yes, to dry the air.
189
They thought it was a little sad, but I didn't know.
190
Did you test it?
191
We see how it works.
192
Not more about how it works, but...
193
You see how it works, and then you see what comes...
194
What comes.. or...
195
Many thought it was very nice to say something that you can't say to anyone.
196
They were not heard of them.
197
No, people were just arse.
198
They were forced to feel?
199
They were forced to sit in the middle and say things that were elated.
200
They felt like they were forced to feel.
201
Yes.
202
You didn't even say anything.
203
You didn't even say anything.
204
Maybe the bench is exactly what Merete said.
205
It's a try to solve conflicts between the students.
206
But I feel that it's not the whole truth.
207
I have been with the students and the students who have been involved in conflict.
208
One of the things that began to happen under the school days was that one of the other students
209
could spark my hands with his own knowledge.
210
She was very aggressive.
211
She was after me all the time.
212
When I tried to get away from her, I knew it was like hanging mats in the floor.
213
I found myself up to the hanging mats, so it was easier to protect myself.
214
He allowed you to kill you?
215
My mother asked him once again, why did you allow this?
216
She has it hard at home, so she needs to get out of her aggression.
217
My mother asked, what do you mean?
218
No, she needs to learn to say if you're wrong.
219
So it was a win-win situation in the...
220
...an-svariga-vuxen version of it.
221
Yeah...
222
It's so strange.
223
It became so strong when you created Facebook groups.
224
And other students wrote, and tell them.
225
I understand when I read the stories, that I'm not alone.
226
And it was incredibly difficult.
227
The world was so open and so excited about what we talked about.
228
And that this was something we almost thought we were for ourselves.
229
That it was our image of something.
230
That it was a whole system that was, like, dangerous.
231
I'm talking about the fact that it was Per who had the last words
232
when it came to the teachers who would work on school.
233
It's also about Majas teacher.
234
He was a bad teacher.
235
He was a very bad teacher.
236
He was a very good teacher.
237
He had a hyst for himself, what do you call it?
238
I'm going to be an honest, a psykotist dictator.
239
He was really gymnastic and did things with trees, and he was really good.
240
It was really good.
241
But then there was a side where he was going hard with his children.
242
It's the only thing that's not right to it.
243
Skickly and begone people with a grave, a fair.
244
It's the only thing that's interesting.
245
The fantastic teacher who has gone through the past
246
and overlived the one with the other and he was fantastic at telling stories.
247
He was a very charismatic man.
248
Nobody was interested in hearing that there were things that didn't happen.
249
Why did he have been there?
250
I always liked him.
251
I think of him.
252
But I'm not really impressed with his spiritual career. But he was interesting.
253
Majas teacher was also left because his spiritual career was interesting.
254
What is it I miss here?
255
I still think about how I could do better.
256
What was the other important thing?
257
It was...
258
There was something behind me.
259
I don't know what school was going to do.
260
You felt that something else on school is happening here than what we see.
261
Yes.
262
They had to use the pedagogical that Rudolf Steiner had written. And I wonder if...
263
Man can just tolka it on many different ways.
264
Rudolf Steiner.
265
This face has been a while during my life.
266
I think almost all I've known had his portrait hanging on the wall.
267
I've never really known who he was.
268
More than he had created anthroposophies.
269
Antroposofin.
270
Egentligen lärde jag känna antroposofin utan att veta vad det var.
271
Jag hittade i min brevlåda en bok i den.
272
Ingen adress, ingenting.
273
The book was by Steiner, I had no idea.
274
I didn't know who he was.
275
But I started reading the book and it was really good, I thought.
276
It was called in German Geheimwissenschaft im Umris.
277
It used to call it the knowledge of the dead.
278
I liked it very hard, I thought, what would it sound like?
279
We're going to look at something called antroposofi.
280
To come to the heart is to get other perspectives on the human and its world than what we are used to.
281
As a child, we were just antroposof.
282
Or antisar, as we called it.
283
But I never had to explain what anthropology was.
284
When up schools, called Waldorf schools.
285
They are looking for natural materials.
286
And in many small garden around the brain they are looking for enthusiastic young people and bio-dynamic nature.
287
For us, the anthropology was something that made us very different from the other children in the brain.
288
We ate strange food, had strange clothes and we didn't see TV.
289
That it was connected to anthroposophism on a way, I knew. But how?
290
I never understood.
291
I believe that if I understand Per and the vision of Solvik, I must understand Rudolf Steiner.
292
In the beginning of the 1900-th century Steiner was called an antroposophie.
293
He left after a material that was created by books, books and books that describe his thoughts and ideas.
294
A central part of the antroposophie is that it is a world which should be exactly the real thing as the physical.
295
When you meet a child and you know that you're not just what you look like.
296
You're not just the one who talks.
297
We're much more.
298
Rudolf Steiner wanted his own andliness to bejagged.
299
It was one of the reasons he created the pedagogic.
300
The life took on a real life as a real.
301
The angels are not something that small children talk about, but our friends can contact us.
302
Steiner was not the world of the and of the world religious.
303
He meant that it was to be a proof.
304
In his books and lectures he spread his so-called andevidence.
305
But we didn't learn anything about this at Solvik School.
306
You don't teach them about it in a Waldorf school.
307
It's not an emne.
308
It's not an antroposophy, but it's an antroposophy every day.
309
This is Dorothea, a student at Solvik School.
310
As many of us, she has had a hard time to understand why we did what we did at school.
311
I've never gotten a explanation for anything.
312
Why do you play the play?
313
Why do you do the loop dance?
314
Why do you do the drak?
315
Why do you use some colors or some material?
316
It's now that I start to take care of myself, I start to ask myself, which is very provocating for many.
317
But I feel I have to know the truth of why.
318
Everything has happened.
319
Much of what happened during school was natural for us.
320
We had nothing to compare with.
321
But when I look back on some of the things we did, it's almost absurd.
322
Like the different temperaments.
323
Do you remember how to deal with children in different temperaments?
324
Yes.
325
Yes, I do.
326
A lot.
327
The personality types.
328
What was it?
329
Phlegmatic. Do you remember that?
330
Yes.
331
Plymatisk, saminisk, cholerisk och...
332
Ah!
333
Melankolisk?
334
Yes, melankolisk.
335
In the anthropology of the anthropology, there are four different temperaments.
336
In the sixth or seventh, Per came to our class and showed us temperament.
337
No, the flower is beautiful!
338
Look at that!
339
I don't know how to talk about it.
340
It's the sanguineken, the temperament of children.
341
The little bit of a flyer, who glittrar a little bit and often is happy.
342
Wait, I'm going to...
343
It's so much so bad.
344
They don't want to sit still.
345
And then there's the choleric, and they're often very determined, small people.
346
They often go with the hell before.
347
They think they know the best of their own.
348
Napoleon was a choleriker.
349
Hitler could have been a choleriker.
350
Melancholic, he's a little bit naive.
351
He thinks a little bit of a sin on himself.
352
They don't know that...
353
It's me who's a burden for all of the world.
354
I never forgets.
355
This was almost like a scale of a score?
356
Yes, I can say.
357
Then you have the phlegmatics, and they think they take it long and work longer with something.
358
They're a bit quiet.
359
He's sitting...
360
He probably didn't say that he was fine with it.
361
But he saw the story of the elements...
362
...and made it better than the other.
363
Oh...
364
I'm a...
365
I'm a diplomat.
366
How good did you get to read?
367
I became very good at that, actually.
368
Steiner said that phlegmatic often has a big head.
369
Yes, but it's often so.
370
When phlegmatic overweighs, it can happen that it's bigger, it feels bigger.
371
Steiner said that you often can see on a child's appearance what temperament they have.
372
That melancholists are small and spensly.
373
That sanguinists are the most normal.
374
And cholerics are short and powerful.
375
There is a pedagogical idea in the school of the Valdup about the temperament that they take out each other, and they set up two choleric, same types of people.
376
They don't want to.
377
They'll calm down.
378
If you know it, and you can work a little, move on to the temperament and take care of them, it's a very good help.
379
Steiner said that the teacher would be able to meet the students from their temperament.
380
The teacher should be unengaged against a phlegmatiker.
381
And the cholericers need to be a joke.
382
They feel good about the blue marks.
383
But you are convinced that they are?
384
Yes, it's not...
385
I don't have any doubt, it's just knowledge.
386
What I think is problematic with temperament...
387
...is that it's a very easy category.
388
We didn't know all the temperament we had.
389
I was very choleric, because I was quite angry at that time.
390
I was like the one who was a little dreamer.
391
Phlegmatiker?
392
Yes, maybe. Who was you?
393
I wonder if it wasn't a kind of sanguiniker.
394
It was the best.
395
Was it really?
396
Yes.
397
We had a lecture with Per where we would just paint the colors.
398
And he would look at the picture and say, -"You are most sanguinistic." Or, you are most choleric.
399
I fought to make sure that it was white.
400
It was always like that I was choleric and an akodic.
401
I had so much anger that I was a melancholic.
402
The students are probably sanguinis.
403
The ones who are most of the ones are the gullas.
404
I think it's more than others.
405
I think I'm going to fight with the bad texing.
406
I never can be so-be.
407
Phlegmatics, it was...
408
It was not good.
409
I remember how I got the etiketten of phlegmatics.
410
It was something we talked about outside school.
411
I remember how hard it was when someone said it as a peak.
412
I was a phlegmatist.
413
You can have the temperament.
414
It's not a shame to be a choleric or a melanocon.
415
Phlegmatism is one of my ideal temperaments.
416
The occult temperament.
417
When it comes to such things, you become very upset.
418
You're this, so you need this.
419
I felt that I had no chance to change myself.
420
You become punished.
421
I feel.
422
You become punished and you are left in the office.
423
If I say ball, Ove, what do you think about?
424
It's just an explosion I've heard.
425
The first thing I remember was Chocca Daniel.
426
It was a reason why I thought I wanted to interview him.
427
Daniel took a couple of classes under me.
428
In our class he was called Bollove.
429
And others said Chocca Daniel.
430
I remember that I was a child thinking of him as an archetype of a phlegmatist.
431
It was the worst you could be.
432
I have a vague memory of that we were tough against him.
433
But I can't remember that I felt any shame for it.
434
Everyone was it.
435
Even teachers.
436
I felt like that Chaka Daniel was a teacher that was a teacher.
437
When we were really small,
438
she would come to us out of school.
439
She went with us, since we were so small, on the way to school.
440
We were a little bit of a classmate with classmates.
441
And then, behind us, came two elderly men.
442
And so they took Daniel's side and arm.
443
And so they called, Now the tjocker Daniel needs to go, he needs a motion.
444
And so they started to shoot him between themselves.
445
And my teacher screamed and screamed.
446
Our little uncle also said that the tjocker Daniel needs to go out.
447
And it's okay, spring with him so that he can get motion.
448
It was a mental illness.
449
It was completely clear.
450
I think it was, as I remember, a day of time.
451
A frustration of a joke.
452
We were in the classroom.
453
And then suddenly she rushed to Daniel.
454
And then she lays his head between his hands.
455
And then he says, -"Are you so dumb?" I think we thought that Daniel was self-evil.
456
Because he was like he was.
457
He was very excited.
458
He had TV-spel and TV and everything we didn't have. Because it was forbidden.
459
He represented everything we thought was wrong with the ordinary world.
460
He didn't go there from the beginning.
461
He was a bit of a a bit of a and he did nothing.
462
He did nothing so that he could not call his lawyer for the violence.
463
That's not what he did.
464
He was not opposed to his lawyer.
465
He called his lawyer because the lawyer had slated him.
466
I don't know, I've never given him an ear-file, but I've never used to do it.
467
I remember that she told us that she had been appointed for a child.
468
And that all of us were very bad at the same time.
469
It was a right time, and I remember that many of the school started.
470
How they bused in the school to show solidarity with the teacher.
471
We were in, including the teachers, to sit on the right. To make a ball-off.
472
We were on the side of the teachers, without any idea about the situation.
473
It was not from our students, but it was...
474
It was said that it was like this.
475
What do we say?
476
School was decided to be on a teacher's side.
477
In a mischief with a 10-year-old child.
478
Why do you do that?
479
It was on Solvik's picture of us against them.
480
We were in Solvik.
481
We were right.
482
All the other did wrong.
483
All that was for kast.
484
It was also why you didn't try to watch TV and watch TV.
485
Those who didn't understand, they were the ones who did it.
486
Those who didn't know what was right.
487
And they were worth to be able to be able to.
488
The question is whether these feelings were a sense of the teacher's mistakes
489
or whether it was a clear idea of what she did.
490
She thought she would have to stop thinking about TV-spels.
491
There was a that was a prestige.
492
What people would like to do to do.
493
It's something that Robin said.
494
That you would like to move on to something.
495
Like TV-spel.
496
As a child I just remember that it was forbidden.
497
But maybe it had to do with antroposofia.
498
It's like small, to be seen as much as important details get new meaning.
499
When I went to school, you didn't do it like that.
500
You did it first.
501
It was just one.
502
It could be such things like that piano is bad.
503
When I was writing people, I was writing a line of hair. And that was wrong.
504
In our class was 100 times better
505
if you were able to jump between trees or do very bad things than if you were good at writing.
506
Over all in Steiners books I see connections to our time on Solvik.
507
But when I talk to Per, I understand that Solviks tolking of Steiner is different from how other Waldorf schools used to him.
508
We played Steiner.
509
We played not what the Waldorf-rational government wanted, but we played what Steiner said and how he worked.
510
We tried to understand what it was to ask about.
511
We understood a lot.
512
It became a conflict.
513
We were just from the list, from the Waldorf-list.
514
Solvik was out of the Swedish Waldorf-gemeinship and went on its own way.
515
There was also a proud of this, that it was not a Waldorf-skola.
516
...that you were not part of it, but something much better and much higher.
517
In Sweden, Solvik was in the kitchen.
518
There were plans to try to take us away.
519
But it didn't go.
520
There were a lot of protests out from the whole world.
521
I thought, if this school is gone, then it's gone.
522
The little school in the woods went from the Waldorf's black-rower to the first example of the international anthroposoph scene.
523
And today, Per still plays the world around and plays workshops about school pedagogics.
524
We had to go to Solvik, we had to go to Solvik,
525
as a sign of the school's future.
526
It's also that you have so high thinking about yourself and that you think that this is something fantastic,
527
that you are with us at the same time.
528
It's like, wow, here's something, here's something, here's something, here's something, as you often say.
529
It's like, here's something, here's something.
530
It's like you're pointing something a little when you say this.
531
Yeah.
532
Do you feel it?
533
I understand what I mean.
534
Yeah, I want it.
535
It's like a ballon.
536
The people who wrote about the solstider have had some serious consequences for them.
537
It's popular.
538
It's all in it.
539
That's why the barndom is very important.
540
I can just say, oh, so bad that you were injured in the skin.
541
I've had a chance that you've never been injured.
542
Do you think that you've never been injured in the skin?
543
What is it?
544
We're so injured in the skin.
545
Otherwise we wouldn't sit here and try to do this project.
546
What do you say that the school has to be responsible for the stories?
547
No, no. He doesn't think that the school has to be responsible for the events that happened.
548
But the fact is that the students were going to be ill.
549
Like Daniel.
550
For me, what has been so strange is how school reacted.
551
I think that I'm sitting with a 10-11-year-old boy and have a whole school against me.
552
In a situation that must have been tough.
553
What a good thing to sit there and try to protect myself in a hand.
554
Daniel had been charged his teacher for misc
555
She gave him to him and had been trimmed with his fingers on his head in trying to raise his attention
556
But the rights of the teacher had still been able to We had won
557
Daniel had lost What do you remember?
558
I don't remember that.
559
I don't know about it, but I don't have any personal memory.
560
I was not inblanded so much, I think.
561
I was never with, for example.
562
You were not with me?
563
So I can't say so much about it, unfortunately.
564
I would like to know more about what happened to Daniel. Where he is today.
565
He's dead.
566
Daniel was in Solvik.
567
He died 2006 as a 25-year-old.
568
He never got a clear understanding how school had treated him.
569
His teachers have decided to comment not.
570
I was really ill-berated. But...
571
Yeah.
572
If you wish that more...
573
...hade done police, there was a lot to take.
574
There was a lot of violence from the parents' side.
575
Plenty of the parents could throw something against them so they could duck.
576
Have there been a physical anger in school?
577
It's me.
578
The students are critical to how they have been treated by the teachers.
579
One of them is Gudmund, Per Ahlbombs son.
580
Some of them knew that it was something that happened.
581
Then they said, what kind of person is that you are looking for?
582
What are you for a kind of human being?
583
If you know that all these stupid things have happened...
584
...and all these children who have lost lives...
585
...because of this fucking school.
586
The violence that many have described...
587
...from a teacher to a student...
588
...you know it's been over.
589
I've never seen it so much.
590
But I think it's overdriven.
591
But did you not know when it went on?
592
Yes, I did it.
593
But I knew it more after I got it recognized.
594
I don't understand why we didn't do anything as a parents.
595
I don't understand.
596
What are you for a person?
597
It's a person who's filming while someone's been killed.
598
Everyone was so much dependent so that no one did any of them.
599
Your material could make me a fucking animal.
600
It's not a mystery.
601
There's no evidence on that.
602
It's just a picture.
603
Everything sanktioning was a huge amount of silence. Did you ask him?
604
No, it wouldn't have been possible for my friends.
605
It had no big consequences.
606
I think it could be far.
607
It's a very strong loyalty.
608
What a man who says.
609
Hear yourself.
610
Or no, what a wonderful person.
611
Think about how to be free and open.
612
It's just to take it for yourself.
613
I think that you should know.
614
Yes, so is it.
615
All right and wrong.
616
It's not a matter of being.
617
I'm going to the right to the right.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
