[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would email the principal saying what a great year your kid had and that you thought the teacher was fabulous for x and y reasons.  I think they appreciate positive feedback and will try for a good match for your kid going forward.  [b]With that said, I'm really not sure how much thought/effort is put into these decisions because I've seen some very surprising class lists.  [/quote]

Haha, so true.  Last year, I requested a teacher for DD who would offer differentiation in the classroom and would challenge her more.  What DD got was a teacher who believed that "a kid should be a kid" and that since they have years to go before they are ivy-league bound, she gives minimal homework (that took DD a maximum do 5 minutes to complete without any effort).  DD ended up being a "checker" and a "teacher's assistant" the whole year!  It would have been better for DD if she got more challenging work while the teacher checked on the other kids.  For the next school year, I didn't bother sending in a teacher request form.  I don't even think they read them...[/quote]
