[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is struggling in a class. Some of it (certainly not all, but enough) seems to be due to the teacher. Another teacher teaches the same class at the same time. Is it possible to just switch teachers? My kid and I were in touch with the counselor about the class last quarter so the counselor is aware there's a problem. She didn't offer switching teachers as an option but I am wondering if kids can do that. The kid is currently failing the class despite being an A/high B student otherwise.[/quote]

I have a Junior and I have never requested a teacher change.  Always listened to the advice that it was good for kids to have to deal with all difference personalities - ya da ya da ya da.  Well I totally regret it.  By the time your kid is in HS, they have dealt with tons of teachers.  If there is one causing a dramatic drop in grade steer clear.  I did not and I regret it.  My kid gets along with people just fine, she is 17.  If you know that it is the teacher, do it.  No one else is going to advocate for your kid but your kid and you.  [/quote]
