[quote=Anonymous]OP the value of your meeting will be more to get a feel for whether your principal is accommodating to parents or not. Most public school principals see parents as a burden and really are not interested in your perspective. This is one of the key differences between private and public. At our school, you basically need to use reverse psychology to get the teacher that you want. A questionnaire is sent home and you can request qualities in a teacher but be prepared to get the exact opposite of your request. Our principal also makes a point of not only not honoring requests for a particular teacher but publicly tells people if they write in a teacher she will make sure that you do not get that teacher.

We like all the teachers and our kids are flexible so it hasn't been an issue for us. They can do fine with the so so teacher and the great teacher because they already know most of the curriculum. I have some friends with kids who are more sensitive or have special needs and they have been screwed several times.
