[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd look into an all girls school for your daughter.  [/quote]

I'm sorry. What?  So let me get this straight. If the boys in the class are disruptive and misbehaving, and are distracting the teacher from being able to teach, the other children should leave the school? And the girls should enroll in an all girls school because of the disruptive boys? What do the well-behaved boys do? Where do they go? Surely this can't really be what you mean...

The children who misbehave (boys or girls-and girls can be awful too) need to be made to stop. OP, I would meet with the teacher and (calmly) express your concerns, citing examples, and explain that you feel that something needs to change going forward because its affecting your daughter's ability to concentrate and feel comfortable in the classroom. Go from there. Removing well behaved children from the classroom isn't the
 answer. [/quote]

Yes, I think that was her point.  Same happened to us.  Private two with two classrooms per grade.  Two uncontrollable boys in the class, compunded by  uncontrolled girl cliques, so each class had to be assemble around those two boys to keep them separated.  The boys were allowed to continue to be disruptive and misbehave, to the point of frightening the teachers and harming the other kids.  Parents did go to the headmaster to say "either counsel them out, fix the clique problem, or we go".  He didn't counsel them out.  We all left.  And it was a good move.[/quote]
