[quote=Anonymous]As an influential parent with access to the principal, I think there probably are influential parents who have some influence, but it is subtle influence.  It's true that when you put a lot of time into the school, you build a lot of capital with the principal.  The principal needs parents to run events and raise money.  Money can go into helping low income kids go on field trips or to bring in interesting afterschool programs or just help teachers with supplies so they can do a better job.  That is critical stuff that needs to get done to make the school work well.  If putting a kid in Mrs B's class helps a key parent, then that seems normal to me.

That all said, we have never made requests.  The main reason is that I trust all the teachers in our school.  Some of them are less than communicative with me, but the kids like them and are doing well.  It is good for my kids to be exposed to different teaching styles and temperaments just like they will see in college and in the work place.  If I have a specific issue with a teacher, I will raise it then.  I rarely have specific issues with teachers.
