The parent explains that she believes the switch will disrupt the momentum the student has worked hard to build. Kasey Forwards the email to her grade level AP who tells Kasey to respond that the switch was random and the new teacher would be working closely with all previous teachers to meet the needs of all students.

What should be done to appease the parent without being unfair to other requests that were denied?

Comments: This is a good idea and possibly try to start gathering paperwork as to why the child at hand should still be in her classroom. Maybe swap another student who wouldn't be as affected by the swamp.
