[quote=Anonymous]So, my elementary school has shared the happy news that the school is getting a new class.  The current class numbers are higher than they should be so a new teacher has been hired and 5-6 kids from each existing class will move to the new class.  Great, right?  Well, the same thing happened last year, too.  Last year my DS was one of the students who was NOT moved.  After the new class began my DH and I noticed that the kids with the worst behavior from DS's class were moved to the new class.  When we observed the new class during an assembly we saw the teacher constantly reprimanding, chasing, reminding of rules, correcting behavior with the class, etc.  It was easy to assume, right or wrong, that the other teachers may have culled their naughty kids and sent them to the hapless new teacher.  Now it's this year, and my DS is being moved to the new class.  I am so paranoid because DS is a good student who always gets commendations for good behavior and who is a good worker and pretty smart with school work.  I am afraid, based only on last year's experience, that he will now be in class with disruptive kids.  Of course I could be completely wrong.  Talk to principal or teacher, or let it all shake out?  My thinking is that once he is moved it will be harder to do anything about it but until he is moved I also won't know if there's a problem.  Do schools regularly use a new class as a way to sort out the troublemakers, or was it a complete coincidence last year?[/quote]
