[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a Waldorf school and my child transferred there from another private.  I will not be sending my child back to Waldorf next year.  IMO, the transition into Waldorf is far more difficult than the transfer out.  If your child has been at Waldorf since the beginning, the only difficulty I could see is getting adjusted to having more homework, more classroom structure and less art, music and outdoor pay.  However, if your child is in 2nd grade or below, you can expect to have to get some private tutoring for them to catch up in a few subjects.  [/quote]

No one below 2nd grade really needs tutoring. Academics at public only become serious (if you can call it that) from 3rd grade onwards and by the end of 2nd grade you'd have a clear idea of where you are and what if anything you'd need to do over the summer to catch up.[/quote]

Well, Waldorf has a very delayed reading program.  I would imagine that a child may need extra help catching up to the class with respect to reading.[/quote]
