Disruptive group of students: what to do?

They always ask for parent volunteers to help out. Except raising the concerns to school teachers/principal, or ask for the switch of seats or classroom, there's nothing much more parents can do for their being loud and screaming behaviors.

That’s the point, there’s nothing else parents can do except raising the concerns to the school teacher/principal and asking for a resolution. It’s up to the school how to respond and they have a number of options, call the parents, suspension, detention, take the child out of the class etc.

Both my 3rd and 6th grade DCs have kids like that in class. At our es, lower grade like 1st & 2nd would have in class teacher assistants to help manage the kids that either have IEP or behavioral issues. At upper grade like 3rd and 4th no in class teacher assistant but kids disrupting class would be taken outside classroom by TA. And seems like no TA for 5th & 6th. You can gather other parents together to ask school ask for TA to manage it but it’s all depend on school.

It is these days. There are no real consequences for this type of behavior anymore.

My kids are in public ES--they haven't experienced anything like this. I volunteer and I don't see it either.

I’ve never had to do that, and to their credit, whatever issue my child had got resolved.

In this case there were at least 6 families complaining and threatening to leave the school which might have had some effect. The worst offender was missing school for the entire week so it’s possible disciplinary action was put in place. They also said there’s a new process for responding to class disruptions, we’ll have to wait and see how it works.

The suggestion to keep complaining to let them know you’re not ok with the situation is spot on. The teacher also needs backing to take action, she hinted that more can be done if parents complain and cc the principal.

Your posts make no sense. Public schools do not care if any families leave the school. Good riddance. I can't believe you have time to track when other kids miss school and speculate about disciplinary action. Your focus on describing these children as bad is getting kind of psychotic. This a problem with the teacher being incompetent or the school not giving her help. It is an adult problem that requires adult solutions.

+1
Because OP is exaggerating and hysterical and making things up.

There will always be a couple of rowdy kids in the classes. The principals purposely place them across all 4 rooms in our grades.

This is a teacher and school problem. The teacher needs to learn better ways of managing the kids and the school needs to help her by separating those kids or moving some of those kids out of her classroom or providing another adult in the room.

This is not harassment and you are a fool if you think reporting it as such will get what you want.

Imagine thinking you said something here.

It sounds like you or your child have a lot of anxiety and in that case the focus should be on your child not on criticizing the other children.

LOL. No. “The focus” needs to be on disciplining the kids who are disrupting other kids’ ability to learn, not on OP kid’s nonexistent internet-loon-created diagnosis of “anxiety.”

Unless your child has an LD or other kinds of special needs that would make them react abnormally to this situation they will be fine. 2) The teacher needs help. This is either because she's inexperienced or because the school is not helping her when she needs help. This is not on the students so stop fixating on them.

Wrong.

What the hell is this garbage response? OP does not sound "tightly wound".

Calm down OP. You sound hysterical.

I’m not OP and you’re an imbecile.

If a kid screams in your child's face once it's harassment? Say what? Keep making your threats OP and please file that harassment report and escalate through a "formal process." What is stopping you? What's with all the threats and not doing anything except posting on here and calling other posters names?

I’m not sure why this thread triggered you so much, but it’s actually fun watching you melt down in a puddle of hissy fits. If it’s not too embarrassing, please share why you were touched so deeply. If it’s too embarrassing then, well, just leave it at that.

Of course the school will care if families leave, it’s a charter school! They get money per student so as a parent you have some leverage. Thankfully it’s not a public school or we would have been told good riddance.

If you think I track the attendance of other kids you’re more idiotic than I thought. That’s probably foreign to you, but I have a close relation with my child so I’ll ask him how his day was and if there was any screaming at school, and he replied that nope, Johnny was not at school this week.

You seem to have issues with the world in general: other kids, parents, teachers. I compassionately suggest you try to resolve those issues, it’s for the best.
