Can I request a teacher/classroom switch?

Or a different state...you get what you "pay" for.

Yup. Bowser is just awful.

What makes you think your child is the special one who needs to transfer?

Is there a special need your child has?

His cousin would retell the stories they had heard and show me how his reading was coming along, and sing all the songs with all the hand movements. It would have seemed incredibly unfair that they were having such different experiences, except they were in the same class with the same teachers.

This is the most likely scenario.

I have been on the other side of this as department chair having parents ask to switch into my class. It’s just not feasible unless there is an extreme situation and even then, it’s not practical especially in January.

I’m sorry that you are dissatisfied. I want every kid and family to feel like their situation is a good fit.

The truth of the matter is that teachers have different styles. Even if the teacher were seasoned, her style would be hers. People make the world go round.

Take time to sit in on the class. Then decide.
