[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an anonymous parenting forum, not Yelp where businesses are rated.  Teachers aren't doctors or plumbers where they are hoping to drum up new customers with good ratings. And they are not public figures whose names can be tossed around with descriptors about their job performance, whether they are the "best or worst."

Instead make an appointment with the principal and share what you kids' learning styles are. Share what personalities work best with your kids, i.e., "Susie needs a teacher who "gets" the kid who marches to a different beat." Or "Bobby needs a super organized teacher who will help him keep him focused."

My friend's kids attend Louise Archer, and she is very happy there. I'm sure you will be, too. [/quote]

Give me a break.  You don't even have kids that go to Louise Archer.  You fshow me a parent who doesn't find out about a teacher in higher grades before your kid gets that teacher...and I'll show you a liar.  There is nothing wrong than finding out so and so gives a lot of homwork, so and so is strict, so and so is the teacher all the kids want because of x.  If you don't know the answer, say it.  The OP didn't say that she was going to request a teacher, she asked for background.  Moving mid-year will be hard enough on her kids.  Having a discussion with them in advance as to possible expections can only help in that transition.[/quote]

4:30 here. No, I'm not giving you a break. I never said that parents can't ask about teachers or that they don't talk about them. The issue here is doing so on an anonymous board.  You have no idea what is valid information. You have no idea who is posting--is it the crazy parent with the ax to grind or is it someone who is thoughtful. In the meantime, some teacher could end up getting trashed here and the OP doesn't really ever get helpful information.  Of course it's stressful moving in the middle of the year. No one is discounting that.  That's why I suggested meeting with the principal and offering some language to use in that meeting.

Have a super day. [/quote]
