[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it so hard for them to stay assigned to the same teacher for both semesters? Five out of my kid's seven classes have different teachers listed for Semester 2.[/quote]

I find this odd also.  Only the case for 3 classes, but it seems weird.  [/quote]

It's not weird. It's partly because there are some classes which are 1 semester only. And it's beneficial. My kid had a terrible Math teacher in semester 1 last year and a fantastic one in semester 2.[/quote]

It [i]can[/i] be beneficial, but I do think it is weird. I understand that there are some 1-semester-only classes, but if a student is not taking any of them, it would seem reasonable to try to keep the same teacher for both semesters. My 9th grader will have two different English, Math, Science, History, and Spanish teachers this year, and none of those are 1-semester-only classes. My older kid had a similar phenomenon in 9th, but it was less of an issue in later years.

I think it's that the scheduling software considers the "A" and "B" semester classes as two separate, un-linked classes, so essentially all classes are 1-semester-only. It just hasn't been configured to prioritize finding a "B" class teacher that matches the "A" class teacher.[/quote]

I don't see why it matters.[/quote]
