[quote=Anonymous]It is so frustrating and disheartening how loud some of the classroom. My son has a slight to mild hearing loss so it is tougher for him when the class is so loud.

He was in a biology class in 9th grade that was completely out of control. He called me before class to remind me he was going to a friends class after school. It got so loud all of a sudden and I asked him what was going on. He said he had walked into his class. He put me on speaker and didn't hang up the phone for five minutes. I could not hear the teacher speaking over the noise of students laughing, moving around, yelling, etc.

He was getting a C in the class because he had no idea what was going on, what to turn in, what they were learning. I called his counselor to get him out of that class. So many parents complain about that teacher the counselor were told they couldn't move anyone else out or the parents would get mad their child wasn't moved. She had me speak to the vice-principal who said she would move him only because he had a documented medical issue.

He switched to a quiet, well controlled honors biology class and immediately started getting A's in everything. He ended up with  A's both semesters.

It is so unfair how a few kids can disrupt the learning of so many students. The only thing that was positive is it motivated my son to study and be willing to use tutors so he could enroll and do well in honors/AP classes. Even in some of those classes it is still really loud. [/quote]
