IMO it would be false to not describe Waldorf pedagogics as a cult. Steiner literally said he got his insights through visions where god spoke to him. And most axioms of Waldorf pedagogics have been been empirically falsified in the past decades. Luckily the parental household still is the strongest indicator for intellectual outcome of the kids. And as the kids in Waldorf schools are usually self-selected from middle and upper class households, one usually hasn't many dire social or economic problems in a class. So all in all the negative effect of Waldorf schools isn't big.
