How do Steiner children fare when the transfer to regular schools? Is it true that once you start Steiner schooling it is difficult to make it in public schools?
Generally, transitions to the public schools, when they are anticipated, are not problematical. The most common transition is from and eight grade Steiner school to a more traditional high school, and, from all reports, usually take place without significant difficulties. Transitions in the lower grades, particularly between the first and fourth grades, can potentially be more of a problem, because of the significant differences in the pacing of the various curriculums, A second grader from a traditional school may be further ahead in reading in comparison with a Steiner-schooled second grader, however, the Steiner-schooled child may be ahead in other areas.
