[QUOTE="keista, post: 447131, member: 11965"] That is really a tough one since it seems like a HUGE disparity between what 'should' be happening with the program, and what is. I would definitely find out what Tigger REALLY wants, and if he REALLY wants to be in orchestra, then fight to get him in. At least he's TRYING. As I see it there is a lousy 'status quo' in effect here, and most ppl just go along with it. Of course, most ppl are not difficult children or parents of difficult children. *WE* seem to be always fighting the 'status quo' I would not be surprised to hear that after you got Tigger 'in', other parents would try to follow suit because they are thinking those private lessons are REQUIRED. They don't know all the ins and outs of the system and that private lessons can NOT be 'required'. This is truly messed up since school enrichment programs are supposed to be designed for EVERYONE, [B]especially[/B] those who can NOT afford such things privately. So sad that this is happening at the lower grade levels. It's enough to discourage kids (and parents) permanently. [/QUOTE]
