9:10 again. I apologize if my previous comment takes us (further) off topic.

To answer OP's question: I don't think you should rock the boat. By joining the school and paying the tuition, what you're buying is the school's approach, competence, commitment, and community. You're not buying the right to manage the classroom or the school. If it's a quality school, then the school has already determined the new teacher is effective. This is especially true in the situation you describe, where there are only two classrooms. If everyone gets to choose which they want, the school will lose the power to balance between the two.

Your statement is only true to a point.  We joined a school and pay the tuition and but that doesn't mean that I have to blindly accept everything that the school does.  It is not a cult with the headmaster being the cult leader.  Hopefully, all parents will continue to think, observe and make determinations about what they think is best for their child and for the school community as a whole.  That doesn't mean a parent always gets what he/she wants, but to blindly follow the schools "approach, competence, commitment, and community" without independent thought, assessment and judgement is misguided.[/quote]
