[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s no more or less special than every other kid in her current class or those who did the class before her. You asked the teacher and the teacher was clearly not okay with it. It’s 12 sessions, at least some of which are over. She can handle this for less than a dozen more times.  We’ve no doubt you’ll let her sit this out as well as many other things.

My long haired competitive swimmer swims year round. Caps done keep her hair dry. She walked out of the pool in less than ten degree weather. She lives, believe it or not. [/quote]

All your points are right until the last one- she is more special than every other kid in her current class TO ME. And I am going to back her up if she is being pushed to do something she feels is unhealthy for her if I know it provides no benefit. She also feels doing math and practicing violin is not the best thing for her to be doing- I make her do those things because I know they have a benefit. [/quote]

NP to this thread, and I'm not sure why you even posted if you'd already made your decision? Nothing you have offered up is unhealthy, that's simply an excuse.  Worst case it's mildly uncomfortable, but no more so for her than for any other child.  [/quote]
