So here's the thread! I couldn't remember what board, just remembered the conversation.
It's always such a guessing game. My daughter always got, by chance, the teacher I wanted for her. My son started off with a great kindergarten teacher, and the total pitts for first grade. He was completely, utterly bored. She needed to retire in 2000 already.
I have my fingers crossed. I got the strongest teacher academically. Be careful what I wish for. And I smiled seeing the class list. I have so few adult friends in this school (place is chuck full of sorority sisters, country club folk and the like) that I'm happy to have my few friends in the same class to commiserate with at class functions. Luckily, my daughter has moved onto Middle School where parent interaction is null (yippee do da de).
I think your take is right. The unknown teacher is usually a good thing. And lots of positives are pointing in her direction. Does your son start son now? He sounds like a neat kid, very mature for his age. Proably annoys adults who can't relate to his maturity level since your son is ages ahead of them :)
Normally we would start school next week. But due to construction issues district wide we start August 29th. Happy to have the extra week, I think. I lost my babysitter to her teaching job so it's been tricky piecing together babysitters (especially with therapy times thrown in).
Let me know how things are going once the school year gets underway.
