Update post conference:
The 7th grade teachers were fairly receptive. Since my son has a 99 average in pre-algebra that teacher said she would give him an exemption from the test. Science average is of the same calibare so that teacher is doing the same. History grade is very high and that teacher agreed to exempt him. He will have to do some extra work in English but he will be exempt from that test as well. The problem we ran into, that was not an issue last year, is they now have final exams the week before Christmas holidays. Our school system has adapted a schedule that is easier for the high schools or this is what our BOE tells us. In previous years finals were in January. We will probably have to change our dates after this year.
