[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you completely sure it’s only 1or 2 kids? I also “ punish” the entire classroom when at least 7-8 students are being so disruptive  that instruction for all is completely compromised. I take away fun activities, not snack. Recently parents had complained about this because they also had heard that it was because of 1 or two students. Admin investigated and found out there were actually 10 students (almost half of class) who were acting out with two of them being completely out of control. [/quote]

What did admin do about it?  No child has the right to keep another child from learning.  I send my child to school to learn, not to be punished because other kids aren’t interested in learning.[/quote]

What do you expect admin to do when half the class is acting out? It isn’t like kids can be kicked out for talking nonstop. Honestly, I am sure the teacher is in communication with parents and is trying her/his best. As a previous poster said, many good kids are also non stop talkers, interrupters, distractors, etc. Walk into any classroom and you will see many of them. [/quote]

This! It's exhausting for all involved-it's a waste of time to call home these days because little larlo is an angel.[/quote]

A lot of parents just say they don’t know what to do. I teach an ES grade and I have parents ask me for advice about how they should handle their kids at home. They don’t deny the behavior problems.

A bit of a different example, DH called home recently about a student’s behavior. The student went to the counselor and talked about how her parents were making her life miserable at home because the teacher called and talked to them about her behavior. DH was told to not contact the parents anymore and that future issues could just go through the counselor. [/quote]
