Policies like this that are just plain wrong and harmful for my child were never going to be tolerated.
Plan B was always if whatever the situation was couldn't be resolved, then I would pull him out so fast to homeschool. I would have also tell them they were making a mistake because he was going to be a high scorer on the end of the year high stakes tests...and to think about it, he was a "customer" they didn't want to lose to homeschool. We would walk away. The schools we are in are desperate for high scores and they can't afford to run the high achievers off. They just don't have enough.
I never had a situation that wasn't resolved in a satisfactory manner but I had to flex my advocacy muscles for one acceleration and it took a couple of weeks to resolve to my satisfaction. I just had plan b in my back pocket and it gave me confidence.
