my children are actually in the higher not lower percentile with the state achievement tests that all school aged children in NY must take. they are learning academics just in a different way then they teach in public school system.

my children are learning academics just differently than other school systems. they are learning everything in "blocks" example dinosaurs. in the dinosaur block the children have to know their math skills in order to measure fossiils, make an asteriod, make carious types of dinosaurs, theres lots of adding, subtracting, multiplication and so on, they also have to be able to read and write in order to fill in their "lab papers", reports, writing out measurements, reading books on the dinosaurs, write stories about dinosaurs, they also have to know their science skills in regards to dinosaurs....

my point is you dont have to be afraid for my children. they are dong very will in the waldorf school system and are learning accademics and are in the top percentile on their achievement tests that the state of NY requires all students to complete every school year.

no I did not attend the school myself. so yea I guess your right I wouldnt have the same memories of school that you have.

I do have a suggestion though if you feel the school system you were in caused you to have some mental problems you can report them to your states department of education. they will take your statement and do an investigation. if the school did cause you harm, the state will take action to help you, and also prevent others from going through the same trauma that you went through.
