We got an email from the principal yesterday: I was flabbergasted.
' I invite you to write a letter to me detailing your child's strengths, challenges and interpersonal style'.
Request for a teacher will NOT be considered.

Personally, I think that's the teacher's job to assess that.
I understand that they are trying to create great class lists for next year (he is going into 1st grade) and kids from another school that is closing will be joining them...
So... would you write a letter?
