Yeah, around here Waldorf schools are state schools and I'm not planning to send him abroad.
Discussion
We viewed our local one and it was good compared to a state school. But there are other considerations and better options imo. Home school is the best option if you can (or legally allowed) and a local school without travel is also a consideration.
I think although they spend more time outside in Waldorf schools, they still are taught like state schools, to obey authority, their place in society etc. regardless if they learn a skill like iron mongering that may be just as useless as sitting in a classroom.
I think there is also the Montessori school system as a midway option.
I've been to a Montessori school but I didn't like the lady over there. She gave me witch vibes and energy vampire so I politely declined.
I'll probably just do it myself but I want to be sure there aren't better alternative available. I'm thinking more about the social aspects, everything else I can cover easily.
I wish Socrates was available... 😂
