We are in the process of trying to get DD13 entering 8th grade into a college class. She attends a 7 -12 grade school but they will not allow her to access the high school classes except her Algebra II class. She can however create classes with extra paperwork so we are trying to bypass the no high school classes problem by creating an independent class using the college class. We have contacted three teachers at the university and two have responded enthusiastically. We have not broken the news that she is an eighth grader as I thought we should meet them first. She looks and acts much older than an eighth grader. They are making an assumption that she is a high school student. It looks like we will have an appointment with the astronomy teacher on Wed. Looking for suggestions of what to say etc. to persuade this teacher or any other to give this a try.
