I then take this information coupled with the parental requests and build lists that are balanced by abilities, gender and learning style. I have fought several battles with parents who were unhappy with the placement of their child, but had failed to make a request. This gave me our procedure to fall back on, which helped me in this process. This is my third year and the number of battles I have had to fight concerning this has dropped each year.

Equal care is given each child and recommendations from a variety of sources are considered.
Parents are asked not to make requests based on what they may have heard about a teacher from others. Placements that are based on such requests may not be in the best interests of your child. Just as each child is unique, so is each teacher. An experience that other parents may have had with their children may be totally different from what your child may experience with the same person. Keeping the above information in mind, please review our guidelines below.
