There were a host of reasons for making the change to public school, which I talked about here: http://www.lionandmagicboy.com/2007/08/20/words-i-never-thought-i-would-say-not-in-a-million-years/ I think your dream is wonderful; I hope it comes to pass!

How come your kids moved to "regular" school? Does Waldorf end at a certain age level? Just wondering... I want to be a special ed teacher someday, but mostly, I secretly want to start my own little school so I can educate kids with special needs in the "homeschool" way.

Your feelings are at least, in part, some of the reasons we DO homeschool. I wish you well in your battles--I know you can do it! Ha.

I wish you well in your battles–I know you can do it!

Because they are so unique and individual and for some of our kids I believe it can be traumatic and stifling. Indigo for sure of all my kids. The older kids chose to try public school by the time they got to high school. A couple of years when I was a single mama and finishing my degree, they went to an alternative school that wasn't all it cracked up to be, but they have mostly good memories. You could do it you know ;) If you need a pep talk, I am glad to return the favor, I owe you about ten hundred! This is exactly why we homeschool.
