While I won't make a specific recommendation one way or the other around Waldorf (or any other crackpot idea listed in this thread) I do often wonder if the parents economic standing does have a relationship to the childrens education. Obviously there are some very good private schools that cost mucho coin (Strathcona Tweadsmuir for one local example) but just more generally.
I'm fortunate enough that my wife doesn't have to work and can be home when the kids get home from school. She ensures they get their homework done, had time to read with them and do the crafts, could attend field trips and volunteer at school (and yes my kids are in the public system). This must have some positive effect over those parents, be them single parent families or otherwise, that rely on after school daycare programs and the like. You think?
