My family and I have moved into a town near Boston. My child had asked for German I and Chemistry. They did not let him have Chemistry for some reason, and German was not available. So; they put him in Italian, which isn't much of a challenge to him since he already speaks Spanish. Instead of chemistry; they put him in an intro to science.
Now; he wasted a whole year in an intro to science which he could have used to get rid of the prerequisites for AP Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. He is really wasting his time with Italian since he really loves German.
He talked to a person who supposedly helps with classes. She said it's too bad since it doesn't matter what classes he had been put in; mistake or not. He can only either waste time in college trying to get rid of those (like he should have in high school); or take courses online (which will just overload him with work and take time)
Should I go to the school board and complain? What can they do? Any laws? Loopholes?

Also; they offer German II; but did not allow my child to take the test.
It's more than halfway the year; and summer school is not an option.
We were also told a technology class counted for both a mandatory art and computer. And now we are told it can be either one.
Please, please help. Anything will be appreciated. Thanks.

Every child in the school is entitled to access to the same classes as everyone else. Make sure your child is being treated fairly. See how other kids in his group/grade chose their classes.
Best to talk to the teachers and who ever places the child in classes directly!
If this doesn't work, You could always claim your child was singled out and discriminated against. write a threatening letter demanding your child be treated fairly if not threaten with a lawsuit.
I had the same problem, feel free to email me with more Qs. also switzerland has an italian and german speakers this would be a good place for him.

Definetly, go to the school board, or write a letter!
