I considered it for my kiddies and spoke at length to my local Steiner school (one person who visits this site went to the same school - but I'll let them speak up for themselves if they wish to).
I also spoke to people who had been through it. Surprisingly I found a very different mix of outcomes. A lot were very well balanced people with a good outlook on life, some were very disturbed from the experience and found it hard to 'fit in' with society outside the confines of the school.
I decided that it wasn't for my kiddies as they'd been in state schools for too long to adjust.
I did like the concepts though.
