[quote=Anonymous]"        Also, as an FYI, it's common practice in MCPS to switch up teachers and schedules at 2nd semester in HS. I think it's a silly decision to do it, but that's how MCPS does it.

They do that in high school? Ridiculous.

All of the high schools in this area do this so your child needs to get used to it. They even did it when I was in MCPS 25 years ago. Occasionally, if your child goes to the counselor before the end of the semester and requests to keep a particular teacher for a specific reason they might make the change. "

It's not ridiculous at all.  They do it because of situations like the OP's DS.  For half of the year DS had teachers he liked and others had the new teacher he dislikes.

It helps keep DS from deciding he doesn't like the subject, which he might if he has a teacher he doesn't like all year.  DS learns that the subject is fine with teacher A and not so hot with teacher B.

By switching after one semester, more students have a chance to have half of any particular class with a teacher they like.

Similarly, more students have a chance of having half of any particular class with a teacher they don't like.

Together, this provides a more homogeneous educational experience across all students by making it harder for DCUM power parents to always be the squeaky wheels.[/quote]
