YouTube's CEO limits his kids' social media use – other tech bosses do the same

Careful. Waldorf schools have some great ideas but they’re also rife with crackpottery and are somewhat cult-like in many ways.

But they do have great salads.

Curious about the crackpottery and cultiness?

I’m on board with some of their rules, but no listening to prerecorded music is where they lose me.

Can confirm. My brothers went to different ones and some were legit over the line.

The problem with spaces like this is that manipulative people easily take over the rudder for the whole school combined with that it attracts a certain kind of free-thinking and liberal people who get wooed in and enable it all.

Edit: there is a Swedish documentary about one of the schools my brother went to.

All Waldorf schools aren’t created equal, but things I’ve seen are anti-vax beliefs, hard belief in mystical karmic stuff, a sort of groupthink that encourages conformity and obedience and shunning of people who question authority, and (and this one is really strange IMO) a prohibition on fantasy play among the children (eg you aren’t allowed to pretend you’re running a restaurant and your friends are guests —- for reasons of crackpottery).
