[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the way it's done at our school:

Figure out which teacher you want. Ask around and find out what teaching style that teacher has. Write a letter to the principal and guidance person requesting the teaching style of the teacher you want. Say you're child needs it for whatever reason. Never request the teacher by name. If you're involved and they know you, you'll be more likely to get the teacher who "has the teaching style your child needs."

If you don't want a kid to be in class with yours, just tell them. This is more likely to be honored.

If your kid has a best friend they'll get separated. [/quote]

This was how it was done at my previous school minus the separating of best friends. We tried to make sure students had a friend in their class for the upcoming school year but we would separate if the friend was a big distraction. If your child has difficulty making friends, it could be good to request that he/she be placed with a specific friend. Try to keep your "place with" and "separate from" lists short, and it's more likely that it will be honored. This is just one of the MANY things that have to be taken into consideration when making class lists. My current school doesn't request parent feedback but they do often honor requests to move a student if there is a major problem with the placement. [/quote]
