[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notify teacher.  Express concern that while you realize children repeat stories and say inappropriate things to get attention, this seemed particularly graphic and concerning.  Ask that your child be moved (if seating is assigned) or tell your child to sit elsewhere if he has the freedom to choose seats.[/quote]

[b]Don't ask your kid to be moved.  You won't come off well at all. [/b]

If you say anything, say you aren't sure if this is a legit concern or just a phase of development you weren't expecting to happen so soon, but your son repeated the following to you at dinner: FILL IN BLANK WITH ONE SENTENCE.   Then simply say you are leaving it to her to handle as she sees fit.

Not sure why you think that. My DS had a similar issue with a "friend" in 2nd grade. This other kid was definitely spouting inappropriate stuff and generally acting out. My DS thought he was funny. It's like they brought out the worst in each other. The teacher recognized the issue and, while I did ask after one incident that they not sit together at lunchtime, she explained she was already planning to separate them at lunch. It's been my experience that the teachers have a good grasp of personalities, and the best actions to take to keep (relative!) calm and order in their classrooms. I don't think a parent will come off poorly by making a seating request, especially if instead of saying: "Keep my angel Bobby away from that little terror Johnny," you say something like, "I think Bobby and Johnny will both behave better and make better choices if they're kept apart."[/quote]
