The classroom door can also be closed, and people in the hallway should be as quiet as possible knowing that classes are in session.

Since we can’t physically put tape over their mouths, and often times they won’t stop talking because of ADHD or they’re rude or disrespectful, how do you suggest we get them to stop talking?

Then they don’t deserve to be in the classroom. Suspend or expel them, and let their parents figure out how to educate them since they can’t figure out how to stop talking in class. Nothing will change until the parents are inconvenienced.

Ha! My principal said kids can’t even be sent to the office for talking out of turn. Kids can’t be suspended at all in the early grades, and in the upper grades only if they bring a weapon. There is no such thing as being expelled from elementary school. You are living in fantasyland.

So nobody gets to learn until the little darlings learn to keep their mouths shut when the teacher is talking? Again, until the parents are inconvenienced, nothing will change.

That’s equity! Deal with it!

Lovely.

“Preferential seating” doesn’t refer to highly coveted seats that are desired by all students; it means seating a student in a location that enhances their ability to learn. Students who have trouble seeing or hearing may need to be up front. Kids who need to be seated away from distractions may need to be seated where they can’t see out the windows. Students who need frequent redirection back to their work benefit from proximity to the teacher’s desk. Generally speaking, if a child has no disabilities, their performance doesn’t vary widely based on their seating.

Lots of kids like mine are denied ieps and my kid in the back is an issue with a language processing disorder. We spend a fortune on private therapies.

Yep, it’s not 1980 anymore.

Parents aren’t inconvenienced, because the majority of them with bad kids don’t answer the phone, read emails, or attend parent teacher conferences.
