Spaghetti, for what it's worth, some of the kids in our high school's science research program are doing social science research. I wonder if a solution could be negotiated that your daughter would enjoy. This program really has been freeing in letting my kid dive in deeply (very deeply) into something she's passionate about with guidance of a teacher and a mentor. I know it doesn't solve the problem with the other 7 classes on the schedule, but it's helped here.
