Is it a bad idea to request a specific teacher?

My son started kindergarten last September and the school did an extremely good job in assessing the children and placing them with the right teacher. You should also take into consideration that you might like the teacher and his or her approach but that another teacher might be a better fit for your son. I feel that as a parent we might be surprised on how well our children adapt to an educational approach that we would never even consider in the first place. Besides choosing the right teacher, classroom dynamics also play an important role and you might have no control over this aspect once the school year starts.
