"The PP - you? - said learn to deal with people you don’t like. So one way of dealing with these kids is going to the teacher and saying these are obnoxious - probably not news to the teacher - and they are disrupting my ability to learn and I don’t want to sit with them. Great if the teacher can move her. If not, she comes up with other ways to deal with it. You are saying she has to sit there and take it. She doesn’t."
+1 Report the teacher, if the teacher is not helpful - some teachers only do what works for them. |

I just don't believe that your meek mild and SUPER INTELLIGENT kids are as innocent and fragile as you do. I seem to have met a few kids. |

What are you talking about? Who said anything about "super intelligent" or "perfect" or "meek" or "mild"?? You are making several inaccurate assumptions that are proving you to be an issue. The apple does not fall far from the tree - address your problems, stay in your lane - but don't think anyone is going to babysit your kid. |

My kids don't need babysitting, thanks. You keep calling the principal because you think the teacher is picking on your snowflake. |

I don't understand? WHO keeps calling the principal? About what? If there is a parent that is complaining about your child, or worse, multiple parents - you would not address the issue? I am not talking about normal teen behavior, or who texted what to who, or micromanaging - we all know who those parents are. I am talking about your child disrupting the classroom or disrupting someone's right to learn during school hours. I know there are parents who might do what you said/claimed, and yes, they carry zero credibility with the school. But, so does a parent like you who is overly defensive and perhaps not stable. Perhaps me responding to you is a complete waste of time, but maybe you will see beyond your limited scope. I am not hopeful. Every student has a right to learn, not just yours. |

And kids that yours don't like have just as much right to be there as your lovely little snowflake. For every 'you' who calls and bitches that Larlita cannot possibly learn if she has to sit next to Larlo, there is a Larlo who still needs a place to sit. The teacher doesn't assign Larlita to sit there because she thinks Larlita is an angel from heaven sent to influence Larlo. She assigned Larlita to sit there because if Larlita sits next to her nest buddy, Larla, she's passing notes all day. Or more randomly because her name was next in the alphabet. Homeschooling can solve all your issues, but you can't demand any kid be removed from a public school classroom. |

| PP, where are you getting your information about your kid being removed from a public school classroom? Did someone tell you they will do that? And who is a snowflake? Everyone who doesn’t kowtow to you and your outrageous conclusions is a snowflake? I mean, at this point you sound crazy. Don’t expect too much sympathy from the schools with your attitude. |

People here think the OP can demand that he daughter never be exposed to kids she doesn't approve of. You are definitely encouraging jer th be that mom. You are more likely to hear, oh, Ms Larlitamom, I'm so gald you called, you daughter is having such trouble this year. The other 3 kids at her table keep telling me that she is annoying them. I've tried other arrangements and nothing seems to work for her. OP has no clue what goes on, she just knows what her kid said, and honestly it just sounds like the kids talk to each other and OP's kid complains. Seems like a waste of a call to the school. You are the crazy person. |

Boy there is one angry mommy on this thread. I think I know who you are. You have 3 kids all of whom you've had to move into private because they have been thrown out of public so many times you've forgotten. They have in the 5th grade smacked little Kindergarteners outside at recess for going on the slide. They have told their teachers to "F off" and they have kicked them in the shins.
We all know you and you know what? Your kids don't behave like that because they are "bored" and "genius" they behave like that because of you. |

+1 PP can't understand/accept that her kid isn't the only kid in class, and that his problematic behavior affects everyone. |

Actually, you are incorrect. I taught for 20 years and I would often seat a disruptive/trouble maker with the quiet, studious, well behaved kids. Not because I wanted to screw my good students, but because I knew they could keep up their grades despite distractions. Now if a student asked to be moved because she couldn’t handle the distractions, I would absolutely oblige. I’ve had a couple of kids that were so incredibly disruptive that I had to keep rotating them from table to table throughout the year so that no kid had them at their table for too long. I received massive amounts of complaints from parents about these particular teens. I completely understood, but I had to seat them somewhere, and I received, unfortunately, very little support from their parents. |

+2 DP here. I just redistributed 5 trouble makers from one table to different areas of the room. There was some initial grumbling by the well-behaved students, but a week later, I have one student being disruptive rather than five. I will continue to follow the referral procedure for him until he either “gets it” or admin decides to change his schedule. Meanwhile, the students who didn’t want to receive the other “bad kids” have seen those peers settle down and work this week. This helps them understand that people can change and everyone can contribute. |
