Thank you very much. You both gave me great tips and suggestions.

MON, I myself wasn't even sure what I SHOULD be advocating for. A teacher that fits well or academic advancement. So put that the teacher fit was goal #1 and academics goal #2. But both are important to us.

I failed to mention that we are in CA so all of this information is helpful and very relevant. Our principal said that they do random testing in 2nd grade for and mandatory testing in 3rd grade.
