[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm guessing the subject is Family Life or something that would expose his snowflake to the facts of life either (a) too soon, (b) in a manner that doesn't gel with his/her personal views or (c) at all.

OP, you need to homeschool.[/quote]

I doubt it.  MCPS already has a process in place and an option for parents to opt-out of family life.  Lots of people do.

I think the OP just thinks that she knows how to teach a particular subject better than her child's teacher, and wants special permission to exempt her child from a block of instructional time every day.  It's not going to happen unless there is an IEP or 504 plan, and even then, there would have to be extreme circumstances.[/quote]

OP here, if there is an IEP, does that mean that the county will have to provide the teacher? That seems like it would make it less likely to go through. DC has an IEP for another subject area, but I am trying to get an exemption in one subject, and willing to foot the bill to substitute the instruction. 
What is a 504?[/quote]
