[quote=Anonymous]DS has a pretty laid back teacher, who isn't very firm with keeping the class engaged and listening. In short, my child had a better grasp of math, reading, spelling, and overall interest in school, a year ago. Trying to help with homework is quite the task as I end up re-teaching what was taught in class (which is very frustrating for a household where both parents work FT). In speaking with others, I have gathered that the teacher is generally not very firm or strict with the kids, hence the instruction does not seem to be sinking in for DS.

Anyway, I have no interest in causing the teacher any distress or issues, as I'm sure this style suits many kids just fine. However, DS really needs a teacher  (starting in Sept/2015) who is more strict and disciplined, provides good/clear instructions and lessons, etc. DS was at the top of his class last June, so I know he has great potential with the right teacher.. does it ever work to request a specific teacher or teaching style?
