[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote[b]]At our school they also isolate the kids. All the kids except one or two will be sitting in groups and they will have desks alone. Its pretty terrible.[/quote]

You might ask yourself why they do this.  
1. It may be just temporary for that day because the child did something to his/her neighbor.  Natural consequences.
2. It may be because the child cannot work in a group.  Perhaps, there are sensory issues.
3. It may be because the child is constantly "picking" on neighbors.  Taking a pencil and jabbing are possibilities.  Another would be frequently taking neighbor's supplies. 
4. It maybe because the child does better without distractions.

It may be sad to you, but if your child is victimized by the child sitting alone, you might be complaining about that kid to the teacher.
Believe me, it is easier and gives more space to have the child sitting with the others.  The teacher does this out of necessity.[/quote]

+1. A kid in my child's class had an isolated desk a few years ago. Why? Because he stabbed my son and another child with a pencil and had problems with self regulation all year. The parents pushed back HARD when the school suggested alternate placement, but the kid finally got moved to an ED center after bringing a knife to school and threatening to use it. Admin was reluctant to act but enough parents complained (in writing) and at least one threatened to press charges. I suspect that's what finally moved the needle.[/quote]
