i have been talking with a few of my kindergarten parent friends over the past few days. tomorrow is the deadline to "request a teacher." of course that isn't what it is REALLY called. but essentially that is what i am doing. i have a form that i have to fill out. it asks me to describe drew's educational needs, emotional needs, classroom needs, and any additional information. i could just say it the way it is - drew is very flexible and will basically learn in any setting. but, i'm not. instead i found out the qualities of the teacher that is "the good teacher" for 1st grade. so when filling out my form ... suddenly what drew "needs" becomes quite specific. :) i'm wondering if the classrooms end up really off balance when all of the parents are "requesting" this one teacher?! or is it that the majority of the parents just don't care, so they don't put in such specific requests and that's how they end up balancing out. it'll be interesting to see how it all works out - if all of my friends (and drew's friends) end up with the same teacher. i'll let you know at the end of august. (that's a-whole-nother topic. i remember being so excited for the last day of school when we found out who our teachers were for the next year! now they don't find out until the week before school starts in the fall!! what a bummer.)
SO ... on a final note -- to any of you teachers out there ... do you hate parents like me that put in requests?! ;)
