My wife started watching some weird esoteric youtube videos a while ago and ever since became more and more into power of stones, nature, spiritual, bla bla. I don't mind it as long as it doesn't affect me. But we have a 1 year old son and now it gets tricky. She told me she wants him to go to a Waldorf kindergarden + elementary school. Not sure if Waldorf is something that exists outside of Germany, where we are located. It's not uncommon here but very anti-science, kids don't get any grades, they dance their names and often end up with big difficulties migrating to the job market later on (pressure, etc.). What annoys me the most is that the kids get tought all that esoteric non-science and grow up that way. She thinks it fits so well to our 1 year babys character and it would be so good for him. Obviously I told her right away that I'm totally against it but she doesn't give up.

All I want is the best for our son and that is him not going to a Waldorf school. My wife argues back that I'm always against her ideas and I should be more open and I should go with her to the school and check it out. Not sure how to proceed here..

You’re in a tough spot. Kids’ education is a big deal and both parents need to agree on the basics. Waldorf can be okay for some, but if you’re worried about anti-science teaching and long-term consequences, your concerns are valid.

You need to set boundaries calmly. Go to the school with her to see it firsthand and make a decision together based on what’s best for your son, not just her preferences. Frame it around facts: what the curriculum teaches, outcomes for students, and how it fits your child’s needs.

If she refuses compromise, you might need a professional mediator or counselor to help navigate this before it becomes a bigger conflict. The key is: your son’s future comes first, and both of you need to be on the same page.

If you want, I can draft a short way to tell her firmly but respectfully that Waldorf is not acceptable for your son.

Send him to a Yeshiva school. He'll get a traditional education and a spiritual one.

Esotericism, just like conspiracy theories, can be smart or retarded, so this means nothing. Esotericism is also studied in academia with rigorous methodology. A YouTube channel called Esoterica is a good source.
Also science is mostly about profits, not about truth. Questioning science (as everything else) is incredibly good by itself but some people do it for the wrong reasons. The trick is hearing different opinions and to discern what is right and wrong. Knowing logical fallacies will help very much.

Just looked this up and it's not bad at all. It can't be worse than any other school, and it will help your child to be different from the mass of normoids.
Your wife is pretty based and you're an exoteric normie cuck.

The problem with using waldorf as a way to brag about using her kids as a trendy fashion statement to brag about on social media is not the waldorf but the forcing kids to become trendy fashion statements on social media. Next up, she's the hero mom for forcing her kid to involuntarily be trans. Rudolf Steiner was an interested fella if you read about him. Have fun on /x/ talking about him, he's also fairly /pol/ which is cool. The schools started out as comprehensive schools but somehow did not end up there which is interesting.
As for the kids outcome, we're abandoning all that MLKjr stuff about not being judged by skin color, the world the kid will grow up in will be assigning jobs solely based on demographic membership, so it doesn't matter if he studies calculus or woo woo if he's not going to use either at work and hiring will be strictly on demographic group membership basis. School for kids is basically daycare plus some lessons so the parents can "work", so the lessons don't really matter that much...

You're going to have to teach them to read and do math if you want it to be at anything over a completely basic and neanderthal level especially if your kid would need ANY type of help with that stuff. He will be way behind in the useful shit, at that age you need to be jamming it full of complex shit because that's when a kid is really starting to develop their brain.n shieeetttttt

waldorf is fucking bullshit
public schools arent great either, in fact theyre utter shite, but your kids will have to learn to deal with retarded normies, in fact it might ruin them, derail their whole fucking life but thats all you can do, like a hunter taking out the kids for their first hunt, its full of peril, but thats what you can do, get them out there, provide them with the best you can and hope theyll be able to find their way around the sea of shit that is society

and if your wife doenst agree on something you can always just beat the shit out of her

i'd say its time to ball up and fight her on the school thing, idk what kinda person she is but, i would suggest you be overly patronizing and dismissive, maybe even call the whole waldorf thing full of crap
