[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not "ride" the teacher. Word will spread like wildfire. Good teachers will go out of their way to make sure your kid doesn't land in their class. 
Everyone gets bad teachers and bad bosses once in awhile. Make it a learning experience in "coping." Move on. [/quote]

That's bullshit. Teachers have no say over who is in their class. Trust me I know. I do the scheduling.[/quote]

Disagree. I teach in MCPS. My team definitely goes over the rosters during pre-service to make requests of the counseling dept to switch students. 90% of the time, it is about balancing a class better or separating students who don't work well together. However, the remainder are based on past student or parent behavior. I pulled up my rosters on myMCPS last week and already know that I will ask to have a particular student swapped. His mother was a piece of work for three years with the older sibling. No one ever wants her kids because of her. I will gladly take two other kids with behavior issues to avoid ever having to speak to her again. If I can't evade him, I will cc my RT on every communication with her.[/quote]
