Wondering how Waldorf/ Steiner style education effects development
I’ve got 2 kids, 2 and 4 years old. I just heard about a Waldorf school near my home. After reading about it, I learned it is nature based, the kids spend as much time outside as they safely can. The teachers don’t rotate every year, but stay with the group for multiple years. Lessons are taught in nature and in creative ways, and creativity is emphasized. Grading and standardized testing is minimized.
It sounds almost like a dream to me. The lack of grading is a bit unfamiliar but certainly not a deal breaker. It’s so different from standard education tho, that I have to ask. Almost everything that I could find online was from a Waldorf school organization. How do these kids do later in childhood and in life compared to traditional education?
