[quote=Anonymous]My child had a terrible experience at the Waldorf and not because of the occult or anything like that. While they are very big on outdoor time and nature, the actual teaching is very rigid and conformist.

I should have realized that when I walked down the halls and saw all thee beautiful pictures done but the kids that were almost identical. You are taught how to copy the etcher exactly. The same goes for cursive writing. The result is gorgeous but you get that by copying over and over and over,

My child has dysgraphia and is a lefty and simply could not do that kind of precision work and was always told he wasn't good enough, go back and do it again, and I understand from their perspective that was true but it was just awful for my kid,.

He's back in public school and yes, on screens (forbidden at Waldorf) and getting A's and loving writing again b/c he can do it on a computer.

So juts be aware that they have ONE model. And it your kid doesn't fit, they do not bend the rules. Also, your child will have the same teacher every year so it better be a good fit![/quote]
