Hi --

If it's TRULY a random switch, then complain. But you may find that
they switched kids around with various criteria in mind. Ask what those
criteria are, then discuss it with your daughter.

Next, discuss the entire change with your daughter as being an
adventure. It's kind of like starting a whole new school year, but in
October! Remind her that the kids who are still in the old classes are
stuck in the same old grind, but SHE gets to do something new.

Not sure if that will work, but a good attitude on your part should do a
lot to help your daughter think more positively of the change.
