What happens to private music lessons at school on strike day?

[redskyatnight]

As title says really. DD has a private music lesson (i.e. individually paid for by us on a termly basis) on strike day. Her teacher is external to the school and just comes in one morning to give lessons. I have no idea whether teacher would be striking or not. Even if they are not, DD's school (where she has lessons) will be closed so lesson couldn't take place.

Don't know how this works? I guess we have paid for something that won't happen due to circumstances outside of our control. do we just have to suck it up(which I am loathe to do as DD has already missed 2 lessons this term due to school activities)?

At my DC's school, lessons missed on strike days are made up if the peripatetic teacher isn't a member of the striking union and if there is another day s/he is free to do so. If not, the amount we've paid for the missed lesson is carried over to the next term.

ANY lessons missed at our school for any reason other than unauthorised absence are carried over to the next week/term.

Im not sure why you even posted. This is one of those impossible questions that can only be answered by phoning/txting the music teacher.

my2bundles yes of course you are quite right. However the majority of questions on this forum could be resolved by the OP just going and asking someone. It doesn't make the question invalid. On the basis that the music-lesson-organising-body has been less than helpful in the past, I was hoping to get some idea of what was reasonable to ask for or what had happened to others.
