[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in the 5th grade,  and there’s a group of four students that are extremely disruptive. Loud screaming and yelling, rolling in the floor etc. and it is a daily occurrence (if not every class).

Example, kid sits next to my child, then starts screaming random stuff, although not directly at my child. Then the other kids pick it up and start screaming as well. The troublemakers have a history of misbehaviors but is was manageable and took off this year. Teachers really can’t hold their class and so far from the beginning of the year two teachers left because they couldn’t handle it.

I sent an email expressing my concern to the home classroom teacher only, especially because my child is telling me they hate going to school, they don’t learn anything there etc.

I’m not sure there will be much done and I want to escalate by lodging in a formal complaint of harassment. Although there isn’t a one on one interaction, I believe that one group of students is harassing another group of students in the class. Maybe not typical, but I still believe this is harassment and that my child is being victimized. One of the disrupters has a history of harassment from a year ago, when he mimicked a sex act with my child’s hat, and I followed a complaint with the school about it. He got some restorative justice talk to, and it didn’t repeat since.

I am genuinely concerned and want to take some action to remedy the situation. Am I judging the situation correctly and any advice on how to proceed?[/quote]

Which school is this?[/quote]
