Well, that would a huge difference here (must be in writing, though). HUGE. Those are the magic words. If you are in PA, you may have made a mistake not trying it. Your way works with individual teachers who are receptive to that... but once you have an individual teacher who does not give a crap what your child wants but simply wants obedience, then you have a problem. That is what we ran into and that is why I had to do it the way I did.
