[quote=Anonymous]I think some parents here saying you have no say are parents of younger kids. I know if it were me footing that kind of bill, HELL YES I would expect to have a say. But yes by the same token would hear her out and be there if she needs me.

By that I mean if this teacher is unnecessarily harsh, then maybe it needs to be looked into. I do think she needs to figure out a way to at least partially reimburse you if it comes to her dropping the class. Even if its 1/4, just for the lesson that it will teach her, that every decision has a consequence both good AND bad.

My bigger concern would be if my s or d is trying hard enough to make it work. Yes some classes are hard, some teachers are ridiculous but hey that's life and they better get used to it. If they cannot learn to navigate life's speed bumps oh dear lord how will they handle the craters? And they WILL come! Hang tough mom, I would really really try to encourage her to stay in the class, work with the teacher and do all it takes.

What she learns from STAYING in the class and getting hopefully a decent passing grade will far far outweigh what she takes away from dropping it.[/quote]
