[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been on both sides of this.

As a teacher, yes I always did this.

As a parent I have been annoyed as my child has been used as a buffer child consistently.

I am not sure what you think the alternative is though?[/quote]

I have the kid who won't stop talking and I ask that she not be put near people she would prefer to talk to. Keeps her quiet, she won't bug her neighbor, and everyone can focus on their work better. Why does this bother the "buffer"? They weren't going to misbehave or talk either way so the end result is the same for them. But now the classroom has less chatter.[/quote]

For my child, she gets really tired of always being next to someone off task.

Most kids who won't stop talking don't stop talking just because you put them next to someone they like less. They still talk, just usually more across the room. [/quote]

If all the "bad" kids are sitting next to each other chatting away the always on task aren't going to hear a word the teacher says.[/quote]
