It sounds like you have someone in the school going to bat for you, at least. That's a start.

To me, the important question in a case like this is how hard are you willing to fight? If it looks harder than is worthwhile for your child under your specific circumstances, then homeschooling gives you another option.

Many people have heard "No skipping" and have gotten skips. That doesn't mean your school will relent; if they do relent, it doesn't mean they'll relent without a hard fight. It all comes down to whether it's worth it to you.

It wasn't worth the fight for me, but friends have fought and managed some quite good solutions for their kids within the school. How much fight do you have in you?
