You all made me smile over this. You got me to thinking that *maybe* the "regular" LA teacher has done a teacher development workshop this quarter at Hogwarts. That could totally explain the TAG coordinator's comments. This training may have given the teacher magical powers that enable her to see whether she can meet dd's needs even though dd isn't in her class, AND, dd has never studied Potions before, so if that's what's on the syllabus for next quarter, dd will definitely have something to learn.

Seriously though, what we actually did was to sign dd up for a digital comic art course for next quarter at the local community college. This looks to be an opportunity for instruction/mentoring for dd by a successful professional in an area she is passionate about... So we won't care so much whether or not she is getting anything out of her LA class.
