[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 534655, member: 2960"] Sounds like the private school is trying to shake you down for some cash. You're already not liking doing business with them, so don't. There may be other options with other schools if you really can't make the public school thing work. Whether you can request a different teacher depends (of course) on the scheduling, but many school administrators actually see the advantage of having a teacher/student pair that works well together. You might brainstorm a bit with your girl on WHY she finds this teacher difficult to work with and why a different one would be better. It helps you make a better case and there may be some insight there for one or both of you. As for the "I could pay for the Spanish class, I think it's a lot of money, it would be a bit of a stretch but geez, it's her future" ... her future doesn't really ride on a Spanish class. There are many paths a person can take to get somewhere and there are always options and alternatives. Don't put yourself against the wall financially for this -- you may very well find better uses for the money later. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
