Visit a school after enrolling and and ask a top administrator to put your kid in a good teacher's class.  Bring a letter requesting this teacher, cc'd to every administrator likely to be involved in class assignments.  They'll tell you that parents can't/don't pick teachers.  You politely make it clear that if your child isn't assigned said good teacher, that's the end of your relationship with the school for preschool.  Generally, a school seeking to boost middle-class enrollment, like Tyler Traditional, will play ball, without admitting as much.  But you'd better have a back-up plan if they won't, perhaps at a charter, private preschool or au pair agency.  You do what you must to make things work for your kid.  Much better than pulling out in the course of the school year with no fallback position after a bad teacher hasn't worked out (hint: this happens at Tyler Traditional).[/b]

If I were Tyler's principal, I'd be sure to give you the opposite class just to keep you out of my school.  You walk in threatening to "end" a relationship that hasn't even started!?  I'm not sure what your experience is with schools, but you are likely not suited for DCPS.  Check back with us in a few years and let us know how far (to Bethesda?  To an upper NW private?) your obnoxious and entitled attitude has taken you and your child.[/quote]

Same here, because OP sounds like a thorn in the backside and who wants another headache for the school year?[/quote]

I agree. I have a friend that works for DCPS and parents like this end up being a pain in the ass, so if there is an opportunity to get rid of them they will take it![/quote]
