[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher and this happened a few times at my school.  When we selected kids to be moved, the goal was to choose kids who could “manage” the change - not the kids who had the most severe behavior issues.  We were also not to choose all “top performers.”  We needed more of a mix, academically.  
[b]It could be that your observation was more about the skills of the teacher in classroom management - not so much about the mix of students who were moved.  [/b]
I am betting your child will do just fine with the move as you seem to be a very supportive parent.  [/quote]

This seems like the most likely scenario.[/quote]

hah, this has been going on for 30 years.  my 5th grade class formed a new class, and all the worst behaved kids were lumped there to a poor new teacher.  as a student, i knew what was happening. i got tossed into this class too, most likely b/c i had a helicopter parent before it was cool and my mom was always talking to the teacher about something and i think she wanted to pass my mom onto another teacher to manage

op, if its any consolation i turned out fine and went to an ivy league college, so elem classes are not destiny. a concerned mom, which you are, is worth much more.[/quote]
