HSG
Just to be clear, being 34 on the waiting list has nothing to do with enrolling late. All applications received on time are processed at the same time. After the tiebreakers are applied, remaining open spots are assigned by lottery. Also, after the school year starts, it can be extremely difficult to change schools within SPS. Does anyone remember the posts from the family trying to transfer their daughter out of WSHS because of issues even the principal agreed were valid?
I also have a problem with advice to “suck it up” and accept that the classes are unchallenging and just supplement with tutoring or clubs. Why bother spending 6 hours a day in class then? I recommend rallying the other interested students in the class(es), and their parents, and scheduling a meeting with the teacher(s) and principal. Outline exactly what the students already know and what you are expecting them to learn. If you need help determining what they should be learning, track down their teachers from last year. They should be able to give you some guidance as to the next logical topics in the curriculum. If you can’t find any former teachers who’ll help, I’m sure some time spent with Google will. Good luck!
