[quote=Anonymous]It's definitely different than my high school experience, when we had the same teacher all year and sometimes cycled back to have them for a later course in the same subject. There might be benefits when a particular teacher isn't a good fit, but otherwise it seems overly disruptive. One thing to remember is that your child will need two recommenders from teachers of academic subjects junior year. My kids were lucky to have the same teacher both semesters for a double-period AP science class. (I think there's only one teacher for that particular course at the school.) Since both were on a STEM track, that teacher was a good potential recommender. It was harder for subjects in which they had teachers only for one semester. I definitely advised my kids to make an effort to make connections with junior-year teachers (not just for recommendations, but of course it helped for that).[/quote]
