What would you do? Okay, I am thrown for a loop as I completely did not expect this. The question actually would apply to both DS and DD but so far I have only been approached by DS' teacher. At our middle school, band/orchestra is segregated by grade. Yes, I know - how retarded is that? There is also honor band and honor orchestra (requires the teacher's permission) as a club for 7th and 8th graders only (or so it is written). Anyhow, DS' teacher suggested that he joins the club and also works independently in the recording room during class time as an alternative to being bored to death sitting in class. I believe that the teacher suggested this because the school won't allow her to have classes based on ability rather than grade. However, now that she has offered this out of the blue, I am thinking that perhaps I should approach the administration for an "acceleration" instead?
