As usual, you made an excellent point and really made me step back and be objective. I would never pressure an instructor to accept DD into any course but I also didn't give DD enough credit. This particular class isn't really about pre-learned knowledge but about pre-acquired skills, which she has. I touched base with both the instructor and the department chair and both offered their permission to enroll DD. Just so I don't mislead anybody into making bad decisions, DD apparently is the best writer by far in her middle school and the school and district have given her the awards/accolades to prove it (LOL).
