We know that the teacher did not seat the kids randomly and yes I notice all sorts of things walking into a class.  I don't think it is by last names unless there are quads in the class.  I doubt it is by IEP because you would have different races and finally I doubt it was behavior because there would be others races.  Ask the teacher because the kids and parents will notice and they may think it is for the wrong reasons.[/quote]

Actually it might be behavior due to the make-up of this city. In my kid's school, the kids with disruptive behaviors are most likely to be black. In another city, depending on the make-up, it could be anyone. This is [b]not[/b] to say that all black kids are disruptive and all white kids are not. I am just saying that in this city, disruptive kids are most likely black. In another city, it could very well be white depending upon the make-up. So I would not rule out that the seating arrangement might be based on behavior of those particular students.[/quote]

Odds are against all!  Majority perhaps all I don't think so.  Also, there is a belief that similar behavior is interpreted differently depending on the person observing and exhibiting the behavior.  People still see a black person in a suit and a white in jeans and will most likely interpret the black person as bad or a criminal.  [/quote]
