Hi, WA state has a "newish" law that (IMO)discriminates against gifted 9th grade students. Our state offers "college in high school" classes. The classes are University of Washington classes--offered in high school. According to this law, tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders are eligible for college credit for these classes. My son is in ninth grade--is taking the class--but is the only kid in the class who is not eligible for credit simply due to being in ninth grade. Do any of you have any suggestions how to tackle this? I have talked to his school, the university and the board of education--who of course, all say their hands are tied because of the law.
