[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know one who dropped out because he couldn't read and the school said he just needed more time. He was about to start 3rd grade when I advised his parents to have him evaluated. He had dyslexia and they transferred him to another school. [/quote]

I know a Waldorf 7th grader who can't read at all (well, can read things like the "Bob" books for pre-K/K and signs etc.).  Mom is still convinced it's just going to happen and it's fine and won't listen to outside perspectives.  The school didn't really start to express concern about it until he was about 10 and they now have a school-based tutor, but they don't seem to be that effective--it's what has gotten him to the "Bob" level.  Their Waldorf school ends in grade 8 and it is a tiny place with mixed grades.  I have no idea what he's going to do then. He's pretty good with his hands, but he needs to somehow get through high school.  It makes me so sad every time I think about him because he's a super sweet kid.  [/quote]
