[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get him an IEP. Once he has one he can't be separate. [/quote]

This is absolutely false. Children with IEPs are more often seated near the teacher. It’s the preferential seating accommodation. [/quote]

Yes but seated near the teacher doesn’t usually mean totally separate from the rest of the classmates. I think OP needs clarification on what this looks like in the classroom.[/quote]

I don't OP actually knows what is going on in the classroom. Larlo is upset because the teacher put him in the corner of the table that's literally right in front of her desk. He has to sit next to her at circle time, and he gets pulled to her desk during independent table work so his classmates can do their worksheet/read a book/get computer time without distraction. I GUARANTEE that's what happening, but OP believes her son who says he's seated at a dunce table all by himself. :roll:

OP here.  I just spoke with my son and he clarified that he doesn’t have to sit next to the teacher during circle time or whole group lesson time. It’s just during actual work time.

Also he said when he is sitting next to the teacher , all the other kids are facing the teacher except him. That’s what I find ostracizing. I agree that he should be apart from other classmates if he is talking or disrupting others but I don’t want him to feel humiliated either.

OMG, your 6 year old is not feeling humiliated because he gets pulled to the teacher's desk during independent work time - and honestly, so what? This is a good consequence and should teach him not to talk when he should be working. Also, she's not purposely facing him away from her, it's probably just where one of the seats at her desk is. Have you been in his classroom? At my first grader's classroom, there are four tables 5-6 kids - your kid has an assigned seat at one of those tables where he spends most of his day. In addition, the teacher's desk has 3-4 seats for small group work - in my child's classroom, the teacher's desk is diagonal so she can see both the kids and the door so a kid sitting at her desk might be facing a different direction than other kids. That's all, OP. You are seriously such a drama queen.[/quote]
