[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been on both sides of this.

As a teacher, yes I always did this.

As a parent I have been annoyed as my child has been used as a buffer child consistently.

I am not sure what you think the alternative is though?[/quote]

I have the kid who won't stop talking and I ask that she not be put near people she would prefer to talk to. Keeps her quiet, she won't bug her neighbor, and everyone can focus on their work better. Why does this bother the "buffer"? They weren't going to misbehave or talk either way so the end result is the same for them. But now the classroom has less chatter.[/quote]

Did it occur to you to teach your kid how to behave in a classroom setting?[/quote]

Well, she has ADHD, so how could I "teach" her to do that?[/quote]

Proper medication. [/quote]

Why not give your kid anxiety medication if they can’t handle sitting next to a child who talks a lot? Why should we have to medicate our kids to please your kid? (Different poster)[/quote]

You medicate your kid to help them to focus and learn better. That is in their best interest. [/quote]

Terrible parenting to ignore ADD/ADHD or any similar issue.  I have never heard of a medication to give anyone "selective listening" skills.  PP sounds nuts.  I feel bad for her kid, who does not seem to have a sane advocate for them. [/quote]
