[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a friend doing Waldorf inspired homeschooling. Her oldest did not read until about 10, despite being very smart. A lot of "well-meaning" adults made very rude comments about this child and his family, but he was reading Shakespeare two years later. So, I would never do this, but I've seen it work.[/quote] I guess. My 10 year old was just reading a new book of poetry that I picked up and really enjoyed it. But in the name of a teaching philosophy, he might have not been able to enjoy it for several more years. That sounds like selfishness on the parents' part. Or a learning disability.[/quote]
