[quote=Anonymous]The new principal sucks!! They’ve known since the beginning of the year that there would likely need to be a new fourth grade class (two of the three classes have the same number of kids as the beginning of the year), and they send an email yesterday saying that they got a new teacher and the new classes will be assigned today.  One day notice! No asking for volunteers, just an email saying that if you don’t get an email then you are not impacted.  What poor planning!!! 
I know people will say “it’s fourth grade, who cares”, but that’s assuming you know everything that is happening at home for each of the kids.  Late elementary school is when kids can really start to look for school for stability (think of kids who have parents going through a divorce or food instability or any number of other things).   It’s also when socially being moved around can have a huge impact on a kids emotional well being— and the kids are old enough to start manifesting real anxiety.  It’s unnecessary to just move them, with little to no notice (class rosters are announced today, and the new class starts on Tuesday).  Ask for volunteers!  Then do a lottery if you don’t get enough of them!  Such unnecessary anxiety!
When my eldest was in fourth grade at asfs, they created a new class and didn’t have to do a lottery to move kids because people volunteered.  This was precovid too when you actually had things like gifted services (now that’s glorified lip service).  [/quote]
