Rudolph Steiner had some interesting ideas about education. I went to a Steiner school when I was young and benefited from it. He also has a lot of esoteric and, quite frankly, nonsensical ideas, but during my time, those vague ideas only played in the background and, because of our young age, were never really pushed. Because so many (young) people’s ideas are now influenced not only by their immediate surroundings but also by what is fashionable on their social media apps, a bit of independent thinking in their formative years should be important to undermine these destructive forces. Rudolph Steiner had some good ideas about the goal when guiding young people towards adulthood.
His ideas are good, in my opinion; you don’t need a whole Lebensanschauung to implement them, you can just implement them as principles.
“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
