[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can write a note to the principal saying your son learns best with an authoritative teacher.  Be careful what you wish for, my friend. [/quote]

I'm not OP and that is my concern. Has anyone written a letter then regretted the outcome?  I'm the other poster that was thinking about it. [/quote]

My DS can be a handful and misbehaved quite a few times with a laid back teacher.  So I asked for a strict teacher for the following year and got one.  The good was that he definitely behaved better (not perfect).  The not so good was that he always seemed downcast and quiet pretty much the whole year and didn't talk much in class (which could be considered good and bad).  Also personally, the teacher just wasn't as friendly or communicative with me, unlike the laid back teacher who was super nice - I didn't want to be a helicopter parent and so didn't hound her.  Anyway, my lesson was that there is no perfect teacher and you can't have it all.  Just gotta decide what's more important and go for that.  Keeping my fingers crossed for next year.  Good luck everyone![/quote]
