[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some class choices will be affected by the teacher. Why take a course with a bad teacher ? Why miss a course with an exceptional teacher ?

Some class choices will be affected by a student's changing interests.[/quote]

Absolutely! Like I mentioned in one of the posts, it's likely a tentative plan that the school asks the students to think through in order to make sure they are not missing out on any pre-req. Nothing is set in stone. My kiddo has been pretty consistent in his career of choice since elementary (CS is his chosen path). He has taken a number of CS/Math classes outside of school as an enrichment (not for credit) to understand his interests and capabilities better.

As far as classes with exceptional teachers, there has been so much turnover in the teachers due to pandemic, even in middle school, the kids didn't know till a week before school started which teacher they would be assigned to. I don't think in this tight labor market, public school salaries are much of an incentive for the teachers to continue in their profession.  In fact some teachers resigned 2-3 weeks before school started, so kids were without a teacher for first couple of weeks, till the district found a suitable replacement and got them onboarded

Plus this is a large public school so some popular subjects are taught by more than one teacher no reliable way to predict which teacher the student will get[/quote]
