My story is a little different. My daughter got a teacher in 2nd who had a bad reputation and parents who had older kids that had the teacher were getting their kids switched to another. My daughter had a bad 1st grade because the teacher seemed to have every "bad kid in her class be cause one of the other teachers was new and just out of college. The teacher couldn't control the classroom. To make a long story short that 2nd grade teacher ended up being her all-time favorite teacher (now she's in 7th grade). What I could tell parents didn't like her because she didn't put up with bad behavior and made the kids do homework. The funny part to me even after that year parents still hated the second grade teacher but loved the first grade teacher. Go figure. I will admit however my daughter didn't have any of the issues the original poster had.
