How to evaluate Waldorf education model

Advantages: The essence of Waldorf's idea is to respect children's nature, understand children's game learning style and grasp the comprehensive embodiment of children's learning quality. Waldorf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf Education, said: "Our greatest ambition is to cultivate a real natural person so that he can explore his personal mission and direction independently." Waldorf education has no specific goal, only to let children develop freely according to their own interests and help him find the fun and meaning of life. Because every child has a mission to learn from the spiritual world.

Disadvantages: Teachers do not fully understand the concept of Waldorf education, and teachers play a very important role in Waldorf education. But some teachers copy Waldorf's experience and only know how to organize activities and play with children. Some teachers ignore the cultivation and continuous learning of teachers, and fail to fully learn and master the ideological and theoretical essence of Waldorf education, which leads to children not learning what they should learn. In addition, Waldorf education is still an aristocratic preschool education, and the tuition is expensive. Today, it has evolved into a high-fee education for high-income families in China.
