[quote=Anonymous]In our school I see this with teacher assignments.  Each year the principal says list the characteristics of the type of teacher your child would do best with.  She goes on to say no specific teacher requests will be honored.  Every year I know parents who tell m they make specific requests and when class lists come out, their child is in the class.  I follow the rules and list traits, and invariably the teacher my kid is assigned to doesn't have those traits and is the teacher no one wants.  I used to volunteer at the school quite a bit, but not for activities that gave me face time with the principal.  I have another child in a higher grade so I've just decided to focus my time volunteering at that school.  I wouldn't mind if there really is assignments based on spreading different kids across classes, etc., but don't say specific requests won't be honored and then honor them for those parents you happen to know well.  As far as better grades, that would be really surprising for a teacher to risk their professional integrity in that way. [/quote]
