[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. have you allowed your DC to watch tv or movies while at the Waldorf?[/quote]

Yes, she watches movies. Usually one/two movies over the weekend. We do not strictly follow the Waldorf recommendation about no TV/electronics. [/quote]

Then transition will be easier. The kids do talk about movies and TV shows they like and if they had never seen anything that would have been a minor social hurdle.
Academically we find the MCPS curriculum to be very accessible and effective. The basic math which is taught in Waldorf schools is definitely different to 2.0 but when we moved here from an entirely different school (French) in a different state, it was actually easier to understand and adapt to for our DD, who had never really flourished in math before. Also the teachers have access to a MCPS teacher website where they can ask for tutoring help on behalf of their students (which you'd then set up and pay for yourself) - so you know the person teaching your child is an active teacher in the district already, following the same curriculum.

Hope helpful.[/quote]
