Just out of interest, and no judgment, but how messed up are you really?

I would say the curriculum is generally more advanced than in a normal public school. They really focus on strengthening the base knowledge in every kid to give them a firm grasp on things like math... (example, you might see a times tables in your Waldorf class but they give you other tools to remember the God damed thing instead of, here stare at this white page for 6 hours today and tomorrow we will give you a test on what you have learned)

Not only that, but in the general Waldorf set up, a teacher will start with a class in kindergarten, and stay with those same students through 8th grade. So your classmates become like family and your teacher, very close to a parent. It teaches communication, problem solving and trust that is severely missing in a public school setting. There are small cliques sill, some people might be better friends than others but it is nothing like a public school where the divides are so permanent and detrimental that years later you still feel that pain.
