[quote=Anonymous]Hi-- I am an elementary administrator in FCPS. I and many of my colleagues will not take requests for a specific teacher. We cannot predict changes over the summer that may result in staffing changes. Instead, we ask parents to list the traits in a teacher that would best suit their child, "My child really needs a teacher who 'gets' the kid that marches to a different beat," or "We would prefer a teacher who is highly structured and helps kids stay organized. Our son struggles in this area." Please remember that there are many factors that go into building class groups. Again, this is what I and many of my colleagues do, but there are principals who allow parents to name a specific teacher. Your best bet is to set up a meeting with the principal in the next couple of weeks. Make it about what your child needs, and not about who you heard was a good teacher. Best wishes. [/quote]
