[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to those who counselled patience. She was VERY happy after the first day (she could see her old friends in aftercare); then scared again to go to school the second day, but happy with a terrific music teacher. Third day (today) I again had to drag her to school, but we ran into a friend (who's of course assigned to another class) and his dog, so her mood picked up. We'll take it day by day, but I will not request a class transfer, if only because a friend in the school office said that 99 percent of those requests are denied, and she thought my child would do well with her current teacher (and I agree). 
Rookie/naive parent here, but it NEVER occurred to me that schools would deliberately separate friends because friends can be distracting, but I see the wisdom. 
Now, ANOTHER child had a difficult time with about 4 boys last year in her class: and all four boys are again in class with her this year. So it does pay to speak up, but I have to learn how. Is it better to ask NOT to be with a particular student ("Mean Girl": "Bully" "Child Who Distracts My CHild") or to ask to be WITH a particular child or children? 
The more I learn, the more amazed I am at everything the teachers and principals do!
I was a loner in school and out so having this social child is a real, um, learning experience. 
Thank you again. [/quote]
