[quote=Anonymous]I do think DCPS could have made a different call to not sue the parents for truancy, but neither does it have a system to cope with an extraordinary talent that requires global public appearances. With this child's concert schedule, this was bound to happen. I went to school in NYC where a number of my classmates left our school around 6th-7th grade to attend the Professional Children's School. At some point, extraordinary talent and a regular school schedule does not work. I also went to high school with a piano prodigy and her parents told her that she had to finish high school and stay local. (It was NYC which helped.) She has had an amazing international career which took off once she finished. There are many kids homeschooled in this area and the family needs to connect to those groups so their daughter continues to make new friends and they receive the help they need to educate her through high school level.
