That sucks. My daughter has had to make some difficult choices, but nothing as draconian as what you describe. Sucks.

I'm the good cop in my marriage. They may not think so when they talk to me, but god help them if my wife gets involved. She's a friggin' tiger when people mess with her kids.
Here is hoping you get that meeting and a satisfactory outcome!
One thing in our society we need to make it so that advanced students can get the advanced education/training that they need. Just like we need to help a student who needs more help. I think we are currently failing the advanced students in K-12. Both of my kid's are super bright and could easily have skipped a grade or two. Unfortunately that means they would be at a real disadvantage socially. Lots of tough choices for parents in the K-12 educational process. Fortunately we have a great College and University system that eventually helps to straighten things out. That is if you are in a position to afford it for your kid's. That is another issue and really a big issue now and for the future!

More and more options for kids, particularly once they get to high school. One of the challenges with my daughter is keeping her with her peer group but also challenging her academically. In addition to AP classes, they now offer some University of Washington classes in the school. best of both worlds. She gets to take actual UW classes as a UW student, along with AP classes and still gets to hang out with her friends and have a somewhat normal experience. It's not free, but it's very reasonable.
When my oldest kids were younger, we had to deal with frequent changes to the high cap. program because funding was so hit and miss. Never knew from year to year how many kids they'd have, whether they would have to cluster them all at one school or what.
Hope it all works out, Xue. Keep us posted!
