That the schools are the state's business is presently a notion so deeply rooted in people's minds that anyone who tries to dislodge it is regarded as an unworldly “ideologue.” Yet this is a sphere of life that presents matter for the most serious consideration. People who complain in this way of “unworldliness” have no idea of how far what they uphold is removed from the world. Our school system is marked especially by features that reflect the tendencies toward decline in modern cultural life. The social structures of modern governments have not followed the requirements of actual life. For instance, they have taken on a form that does not satisfy the economic demands of modern humanity. They have also set this same backward stamp upon the school system, which, having liberated it from the religious confessions, they have now brought into complete dependence on themselves. At every level, schools mold human beings into the form the state requires for doing what the state deems necessary. Arrangements in the schools reflect the government's requirements. There is much talk, certainly, of striving to achieve an all-around development of the person, and so on; but the modern person unconsciously feels so completely a part of the whole order of the state that he does not even notice, when talking about the all-around development of the human being, that what is meant is molding the human being into a useful servant of the state.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Daß das Schulwesen eine vom Staat zu besorgende Angelegenheit sei, wurzelt gegenwärtig so tief im Bewußtsein der Menschen, daß, wer an diesem Urteil rütteln zu müssen vermeint, als ein weltfremder «Ideologe» angesehen wird. Und doch liegt gerade auf diesem Lebensgebiete etwas vor, das der allerernstesten Erwägung bedarf. Denn diejenigen, die in der angedeuteten Art über «Wekfremdheit» denken, ahnen gar nicht, welch eine weltfremde Sache sie selbst verteidigen. Unser Schulwesen trägt ganz besonders die Charakterzüge an sich, die ein Abbild sind der niedergehenden Strömungen im Kulturleben der gegenwärtigen Menschheit. Die neueren Staatsgebilde sind mit ihrer sozialen Struktur den Anforderungen des Lebens nicht gefolgt. Sie zeigen zum Beispiel eine Gestaltung, die den wirtschaftlichen Forderungen der neueren Menschheit nicht genügt. Sie haben diese Rückständigkeit auch dem Schulwesen aufgedrückt, das sie, nachdem sie es den Religionsgemeinschaften entrissen, ganz in Abhängigkeit von sich gebracht haben. Die Schule auf allen ihren Stufen bildet die Menschen so aus, wie sie der Staat für die Leistungen braucht, die er für notwendig hält. In den Einrichtungen der Schulen spiegeln sich die Bedürfnisse des Staates. Man redet zwar viel von allgemeiner Menschenbildung und ähnlichem, das man anstreben will; aber der neuere Mensch fühh sich unbewußt so stark als ein Glied der staatlichen Ordnung, daß er gar nicht bemerkt, wie er von der allgemeinen Menschenbildung redet und eigentlich die Ausbildung zum brauchbaren Staatsdiener meint.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":242,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/24/l04/p001"}],"english":["GA 24/l04/p001"],"method":"structural_identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"unverified","length_check":{"de_words":242,"en_words":264,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.18,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2321,"original_word_count":1963,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"status":"unknown","warning":"No translator is recorded for this edition.
