AIBU to step in and speak to college for her?

[benfoldsfive]

DD 16 in the first year of college, doing 3 a levels 2 and fine and she is at the expected grades (Drama and English) The 3rd (ethics, religion and philosophy) not so much. So much so the teacher has told her that she is no longer allowed to sit it.

DD is totally defeated and saying that's it, she will have to drop out of college and start again in September as 2 a levels isn't enough. I've said the has to be another route, another a level choice, they can just do this.

She is so frightened to speak to anyone that she will not speak to anyone about it and has just taken what the class tutor has told her as holy law.

AIBU to contact someone and see what can be done? I sure it's not the end. Or do I let it play out because she is "independently learning"?

I would speak to the collage. When I was doing A levels. I started an A level geography in my second year. So I qas studying both years at the same time with different tutors. Because I was in the second year in my courses I was doing exams. But the geography year 1 course were expecting me to do a week long field trip. I explained why I couldn't go to one if my tutors and he told me that if I didn't go on the trip didn't bother coming back to his class. I was very upset and stopped going to geography classes that I loved. A few weeks later I was stopped by my other geography tutor asking why I wasn't attending classes. He was really not happy with the other tutor when I explained why. Now I am older I can't understand why I was allowed to squeeze in another course if there was a compulsary field trip during exam time.

I wish I had a parent who would fight my corner.
