The foundation would also advocate replacing conventional public schooling with the arts-rich Waldorf approach to childhood education. Many of our social problems are rooted in emotional and moral under-development. In stark contrast to state schooling, Waldorf articulates stages of childhood development, and teaching methods which facilitate emotional and moral development. In this capacity Waldorf serves as preventative intervention, averting adult social behavioral problems later on. We need to think in terms of a problems and solutions format.
Every problem has a developmental history, and every solution an origin in prevention.
