[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How gratuitously nasty of you, since nowhere did I imply that being at Beauvoir is a burden.

The policy around classroom lists has changed under the new head of school.  It was different when we applied and entered; parents had more input into the process.   [/quote]

Perhaps so that the school no longe needs to accommodate the many, many (sometimes contradictory) parent requests.  Maybe the school believes classes should be built and balanced based on what teachers see in the classroom through the year, not on the dozens of parents who don't think their kid's placement is the best.  If you have concerns, speak with Amy or, better yet, with the kid's teacher, to let them know about the issue, and seek guidance on how to address it .   If they think a class change is needed, they will let you know I'm sure.    FWIW, before the system of having the teachers and administrators design the classes, without parent input (really, demands), most parents I know made requests, mainly geared to getting the "best" teacher without putting it so bluntly.  And if a request wasn't honored, all sorts of speculation of what that "meant" (some bias against the kid/family, classism, etc.).

Also, if there's a dynamic you think the school doesn't know of, talk with your kid's teachers about it in the spring so you can be sure they are aware of it in making class lists.

I hope it works out![/quote]
