My Class 1 child was clearly ahead in Math, Science, and English compared to her classmates at Waldorf. There was a time my child kept asking questions in the classroom but the teacher avoided to answer them. Instead, I was called to school and was advised to keep the advance books away from my child until she was old enough or mature enough to handle the topic.
I find nothing wrong if a child is curious and ask questions but to be told that I as a parent had to keep the “advance” books away from my child was and is hindering her progress and intellect. I had not openly displayed the “adult” books my child had found with effort in our family home. She loved to read and read whatever she could find. It was then I realized that Waldorf was not fit for my child.
