[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered that your daughter needs to be held accountable for her own actions? If she does poorly on the test, could it be that she didn't fully understand the material? Why must it always be someone else's fault?

Tell her to ignore the boy.

Last year, my child was seated near another child who was quite distracting. I told my DC simply "ignore that kid. Don't get distracted. It's his business, not yours." [/quote]

I agree to some extent.
But, the bottom line the girl is 8 and still learning self-control.
It is hard when someone is being distracting.
If you have to stop concentrating on what you are doing to tell someone else "STOP" -- that takes time away from what you are doing.
Having said that...my daughter had a disruptive kid in 1st grade last year.
I emphasized to my daughter that laughing at, encouraging, or in some other way participating in the kid's disruptive behaviour was unfair to the disruptive kid as well....basically it was giving him a payoff for his behaviour.
He needed a better example and my daughter could be that...
Plus teacher had sense enough to separate them. - WHICH IS WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE!
Email the teacher and copy the principal...I did that in regards to what I deemed a mean teacher -- problem solved with a quickness.[/quote]
