[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are asking too much from an 8 year old. Call the teacher and insist they are separated in class and small groups.  To me, this girl is escalating with the pants issue. Perhaps the teacher can recommend another girl she can sit with at lunch. If the teacher doesn’t do anything, call the principal. While you are at it, tell whomever in charge you do not want B to be in her class next year. [/quote]
The teacher has already separated them in class and in small groups. She's keeping an eye on the situation, but [b]she can't dictate where kids sit at lunch[/b] or force kids to change tables to sit with my daughter if they want to sit with B. I will absolutely tell the school not to put them in class together in the future.[/quote]

The school is capable of doing this. My kid’s public ES assigns seats at lunch. Ask.[/quote]
If they assign seats at lunch, they are assigning everyone in the class a seat. This happened in D's class last year because some kids were consistently being to rowdy at lunch and the whole class saw it as collective punishment (which it was, to be fair). I don't think the school should dictate where everyone has to sit at lunch because one girl is a bully. I also think the school would hear from B's parents if she was singled out for assigned seating. Maybe the school [i]should [/i]be talking to her parents as this escalates, but I think that conversation would have to come before assigning her a lunch seat.[/quote]
