[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's teacher is someone I know pretty well because he is a member of an organization I run. He's going to be a horrendous fit for my kid. Seriously, this guy's general demeanor and communication methods are going to push every button my kid has. And I'm doing nothing. I know other parents who have had their kids in his class, who all report that yes, he's a PITA but he's also a very good teacher. And that's what he's there to do, teach my kid. So my kid will have to deal with it. Sometimes in life you are forced to deal with someone who makes you nuts. Part of growing up is learning to navigate that. [/quote]

They would probably move your child if you state the "friendship" as an issue.  Whether that is your personal friendship or your child's perception of the teacher as a family friend.  Sometimes children in a class with a teacher who is also a family friend can, in some cases, be a conflict.  Many times a child will not behave well for someone who they spend family social time with because the child may not give them the same "authority figure" respect needed in a teacher/student relationship.[/quote]
