[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the teacher of that hard class, your son is making a mature, responsible choice. I had 6 kids miss my class last week for a mid day band concert. They have now been behind all week and will struggle to catch up before Friday’s test. I don’t know why performances have to be during the school day.[/quote] I don't know why either but its a no win for these kids. Maybe you could have helped the kids at lunch or another time to catch up. My kid always chooses class, which is a problem, as the band teacher refuses to let them do much beyond the absolute minimum, as they prioritize the kids who put band over academics first.[/quote] It’s a good life lesson that you can’t have it all and need to prioritize what is important to you, even if it’s not what is important to others. I kind of wish I had learned that lesson in high school.[/quote]
