[quote=Anonymous]22:56 here. A parents relationship with the administration DOES matter and can impact your child. We were in a situation at our IB (and not very desirable school but all we got into). We did not request a teacher before the start of the year, although we did hear excellent things about one particular teacher, because we did not know first hand. The teacher we got was good, but the assistant was awful and ended up being with the kids more than the lead teacher. We fortunately were admitted into a better school right as I was about to have a big talk with the teacher, but I did tell her my concerns when we left. Had we stayed, I would have likely ended up requesting a class change but if it wasn't a possibility we would have stayed put. If the situation is so bad that one teacher would keep you out of the school, you should certainly make a request but bullying (especially if you are a white middle class parent) will get you nowhere.[/quote]
