110: Initiation or Vitiation?
For the first time in history, all of the children who enter First Grade from this time forward were born in the twenty-first century – the third millennium. Such future-directed children are not going to settle for yesterday’s schooling methods, nor even today’s! Waldorf schools are not exempt from this challenge, but does the Waldorf Movement have the vision and courage to meet the Millennial Child? Eugene Schwartz, who has consulted at over 125 Waldorf schools in North America and Europe, explores the forces of vitiation and uncertainty that have gradually crept into Waldorf education. He suggests some ways in which Rudolf Steiner’s educational ideals may be imbued with new life for the sake of the children of today – and tomorrow.

Ninety years ago Rudolf Steiner provided a path of inner development that works with particular power on the soul of the teacher. In this lecture we explore aspects of this path and its ramifications in the clasroom.
