Replacing the homework was my initial request. I felt like it was reasonable and not overly demanding of the teacher. So I was surprised when she was so adamantly against it.

I guess I was kind of blindsided, I stupidly expected she would be interested in working with me to challenge him appropriately. My parents were both teachers and I really feel like they would have responded more positively to a request like mine.

At this point, I feel ike she has stated her position clearly more than once and I am not sure that discussing it further will change her mind. So I am trying to decide what my next step is.
