"What Teacher Do You Like?"

Today I was asked what Kindergarten teacher someone's child should get next year. I told her that both of my children had Mrs. _____. I like her a lot but I know that many parents have complaints about her. Most of the complaints have to do with the fact that Mrs. _____ is not very "lovey-dovey" with their children. They believe she is too strict and "academic".

My thoughts on this are that I think it's good for kids to experience different teaching styles. In the real world, we have to interact with all types of people every day, so why not start out early on? Kids adapt well, and although you as a parent may want your child's kindergarten teacher to be Ms. Lovey Dovey, your child will probably be just fine with another teacher.
