[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wish my school had more than a one year memory.  Two years ago year my son had a HUGE PROBLEM with a student and even though I requested that student not be in his class, and that student wasn't last year, they are this year.  The principal's response, "there were no problems last year so we didn't honor the request."  There were no problems last year because they weren't in the same class. It is like they have no institutional memory.  And, then they are going to call me when things happen and want me to solve the problem.  [/quote]

Now THIS is a request I think the schools do need to take seriously. You are correct that "there weren't problems last year" is not an acceptable answer because they weren't in the same class. This is the type of concrete, clear-cut request that I think is reasonable and should be responded to. They should either make the change, or demonstrate that they are taking your concern seriously. Maybe a meeting with the teacher, the guidance counselor and the principal all at the same time. You get them to state clearly how they will handle any situations that come up.

I know some teachers have been following this thread. I'd like to know your thoughts in this type of scenario, when parents not just making vague requests for "good teachers" or "being in class with friends" but an actual bullying-type issue.
