[quote=Anonymous][quote]You sound like you are judging your neighbor's mom for advocating for her child. I have absolutely gone to the principal to get my child's teacher changed when I knew it would not be a good fit. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I am trying to do that now and the principal is refusing. Any advice?

Trust the Principal.[/quote]

My question is why?

Is it because of what neighbors have said or what you personally have observed?  Is it because of what your child has told you?

If you have valid reasons to request a change, then state them clearly.  Be specific:  I understand that Mrs. XXX screams all day--my child cannot work under these circumstances.  Even if your child does not get moved, you have warned the principal to be alert.

But, you cannot just say--I don't want my kid in that class.

FWIW, my DD was in a class where other parents were complaining about the teacher yelling.  I asked DD about it and she replied:  "she only yells at those that deserve it."  Thinking about it, I realized that the moms who were complaining did have challenging children.

One year, there was a teacher that lots of people did not want for their child--she turned out to be great.  She was a little eccentric--but my DD learned a lot that year.
The only request I have ever made were for DS to be in a different class from one of his friends.
