[quote=Anonymous]Not that this is necessarily the reason, but this is right around the age that ADHD tends to really impact boys in the classroom. My DS was pretty impulsive and annoying for the first half of 2nd grade until we figured out what was happening and got him evaluated and got effective treatment. But we were very on top of it and were working very closely with the teachers the whole time but I'm sure there were kids who told their parents he was annoying. He is a very well behaved, diligent student now.

In any case, I'm saying this because none of this sounds especially concerning yet and I agree that you will come off as high maintenance if you make a point to complain right now. If it was directly hurting your DD (physical violence, bullying etc), obviously that's different. You can certainly discuss it in parent-teacher conferences in a productive way by talking about how your child learns best and whether there is a way to help her focus away from kids who are not as focused.

It's also important to remember that there is a chance that your DD is exaggerating or you are not getting the full story. Use it as an opportunity to teach your kid how to cope with some adversity. She will never have a completely distraction-free learning environment and she is building important social skills. You would know if it's totally out-of-hand and this does not sound like it. And there is a good chance these kids will mature  (or get help if there is something like ADHD) or they will likely get counseled out. [/quote]
