[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We knew a child who was counseled out for behavioral issues last year.  This was in the lower school and the parents were sad because their child loved the school.  My DC never reported anything good or bad about the child who left but I did observe when in class that the child sucked huge amount of the teacher's time to direct and redirect.  Of course there were other children who did the same thing and are still there.  [/quote]

I might know the same child.  This one was young for the class, and my child said the kid was in trouble almost every day.  I think many parents requested that their kids not be in the same class for the next year.  Very distracting, unfortunately.  I wondered if they held the child back a year at a different school.

Sounds like the right decision. Families like ours, who pay a lot of money, should very much expect the teachers to be able to do a job without THIS MUCH interruption, disruption and unpleasantness. Sounds like this child has an attention-getting issues and the teacher was not able to address it for a whole year. Fair to all other families. [/quote]

Thankfully, the classroom has now reached a state of Nirvana. The remaining angelic children will now be able reach their full potential in life without such negative influences. Had this disruptive nine year old been allowed to remain in all likelihood the remaining students probably would have been eventually denied admission to their Ivies, probably Med. School as well, and perhaps they may not marry a debutant either. It's very fortunate that this problem was resolved early in your child's life. Although, this experience must have been traumatic, we can at least rest assured that the lives of the remaining students will be perfect.

Good work[/quote]

You joke.  But if there's one thing I expect my 30K per year to buy, it is a classroom free of constant disruptions from uncontrollable others.[/quote]

You may expect your $$ to buy that.  But, there are others who are only willing to pay the $30k b/c their kid is so disruptive that he can't function in public school and needs the "nurturing" and "small classroom experience" offered for a hefty price at privates.[/quote]
