[quote=Anonymous]My DD is 13 / 7th grade. Her (recorded) flute audition for a small music class at school is due Friday. I had an urgent medical emergency (stroke) and spent the week in the hospital. DD said she has not practiced as much as she would like but the only extensions are for “extreme circumstances or medical emergencies”. I encouraged DD to talk to her teacher and ask for an extension through next weekend (48 hrs). DD says she doesn’t want to ask for a benefit for her from something horrible that happened to me. She says it’s not about being embarrassed to tell people; but about the concerns about special treatment. She normally practices flute a lot but has been at the hospital after school this week and we’re all exhausted. (I’m home now.) I really want to encourage more firmly to talk to her teacher. What would you do? [/quote]
