[quote=Anonymous]Wish I had seen this earlier. My kid has Spanish lit and English lang tomorrow, she definitely would have loved some advocacy to put one off until the makeup day.

I also wish the school would cool it on papers and projects during the AP week. One thing an experienced teacher did, bio, was finish up a week early and then schedule a high value summative that was all AP style multiple choice. It was insanely painful for DD to be doing her bio prep while other classes were in full swing, but it was a life saver when she started working in the final review for ApUSh and Spanish.

I also am really annoyed at her music ensemble. Luckily my kid is a planner, so she looked at the schedule and noticed, a month ago, a extra music festival, rehearsal, and performance last weekend, as well as the final rehearsal, dress, and concert this week. Yes, that's 3-4 hours of music Saturday - Wednesday. She said she was not able to do the extra festival, which may impact her chair next year, but it's just too much. A lot of kids did it, then had last minute "emergencies"'requiring them to miss yesterday's rehearsal and/or tomorrow's dress. I know this because we got an angry letter from the director saying that so many people were requesting off that no one would be excused who didn't give 2 weeks notice. In 3 years, we've never gotten a parent letter like this, so I'm guessing the callouts were pretty extreme. My kid loves her ensemble, but I'm proud that she planned ahead and was willing to set a clear boundary! [/quote]
