I'm posting it here because I don't know where else to post it.... And I want to be REAL CLEAR that there is NO RELIGIOUS TALK in this thread (even tho it names an ideology for reference) and there is to be no talk about the ideology or other religions, etc. Thank you!

But I had gone to Waldorf Schools for a couple of years. When some major issues came up (that just don't fit the average), I started researching, and Waldorf schools came up

Waldorf - People for Legal and Nonsectarian Schools (PLANS) - Critics List
These have me questioning my experiences more than ever, and I am trying to tie the pieces together. But I have little information for the younger years, and just as little memory and facts to go on.
I have learned that the pedagogy begins in Kindergarten (when I started) and takes the student all the way through tenets of Anthroposophy.
For a time, I thought it all to be just another conspiracy theory. Then I looked up my old school and there it is in the front lines. "We opened in (the year I started Kindergarten) and we study tenets of Anthroposophy". @_@ It's supposed to be non-dogmatic (I may have just made that word up).
Does anyone else have experiences to share about Waldorf that just don't add up?

I wouldn't call this a religion as I would a philosophy. Spirituality is not religion. Waldorf method of learning is about learning through hands on experience and discovery. It is no more a relgious practice than say learning my phonetics.

It certainly isn't a replacement for religious practices, it certainly is not an alternative. It simply fits in with many that already exist - except maybe for ultra right wing evangelical religions.

Exactly.

So - the question still stands; anyone else attend and have any bizarre memories of Waldorf schools?
