[quote=Anonymous]I don't know about how it works in APS, but in our school (FCPS) the principal does consider a parental request to keep two kids separate if they have issues with each other (and that includes separating best friends who distract each other etc.). Parents were told quite specifically not to request specific teachers by name. I did write a letter one spring about my child's personality and how she would do better with one type of teacher than another, in hopes it would keep her from having a particular teacher as her "homeroom" teacher that fall, and it worked, or at least daughter didn't get that particular teacher -- can't ever say for sure if it was because of our request or not.

I know a parent who has requested a couple of times that her son not be placed in the next year's class with this or that boy, due to some ongoing issues of son being bullied, in one case (and yes, it was real, targeted and continuing bullying, not just "they don't get along") and in another case, due to the fact her son and his best buddy needed to be separated so they didn't egg each other on in class. Each time it was honored; however, be sure to check class lists in the fall as soon as they are posted, before school starts, if your school does that. One year the friend found her son was in a class with the kid who was the bully and she immediately went to the office and got that changed a day or two before classes started. It was fortunate she'd seen the list a little in advance or the school might have been balkier about changing class lists once the year began.[/quote]
