JLC01, I totally agree. You're not paying all that money for your daughter to teach other kids to dance. I think that's a great lesson to teach (helping others when you have a gift), but I'm sure she could do a little of that and at the same time advance according to her individual ability.
As for not accelerating your daughter because of the other parents, I think that's a terrible policy. Would they accelerate a child who isn't ready just because everyone else is moving up? Sometimes it's not all about everyone being equal. If so, our gifts wouldn't count for anything. If this is an area in which your dd is gifted, and she clearly is, she should be challenged before she gives up on it. I feel your frustration! Can you tell? LOL
Does the studio understand that your daughter's frustration is causing her to want to quit?
