[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 301348, member: 7371"] Pepsi, a couple of thoughts: You might check back with the "good" school after the first week. Actual enrollments don't always match what they anticipate, because people move during the summer etc., so they may have room for you after all. Worth a try anyway. Second, if you know the assigned teacher is good one, I'd say try to stick with her. Tell the teacher privately that there had been an issue with difficult child and the other girl, and ask her to keep an eye on the situation and let you know if there are any problems. If the problems resurface, then by all means pursue a change. But as you've probably discovered, a good teacher can make a big difference in how well a difficult child performs. Third, touch base with the principal periodically and ask how difficult child is doing. Let him know that you want to be a partner in difficult child's education, and say that since he was aware of problems that weren't brought to your attention last year, you want to make sure you have a handle on what the school is seeing. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps. Good luck next week! [/QUOTE]
