[quote=Anonymous]Here's a possibly more diplomatic approach to take. 
It sound like this disruptive child is not directly harassing your child, but just in general has a number of behavior issues that cause drama in the classroom? Sometimes (but not always) there are certain issues that child has, that can not be shared with you due to privacy reasons. They have to put this child in some classroom, because everyone has the right to an education. However, "everyone" also includes your child.
So, diplomatic approach is to ask for a meeting with the principal, and don't make it about your child, but the classroom in general. Give SPECIFIC examples about how the numerous times the teacher has to stop teaching and deal with the disruptive child has a negative impact on the classroom. Suggest that your observations indicate that this teacher (and whatever teacher get this disruptive kid next year) needs extra support in the classroom.
In my kids school, there are aides whose entire job is to work with one or two kids. They are responsible for these kids, and that frees up the teacher to take care of the rest of the classroom. I've seen HUGE improvement in the behavior of some kids that have this kind of intervention. So, everybody wins: you kid, other kids, disruptive kid, teacher. 
So, don't ask for this kid to be "not your problem" next year by insisting on your kid being separated. Advocate for something that will be good for ALL the children in the school.[/quote]
