[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We suffered through this for a couple of years at a (great) k-8. By 4th grade, the disruptors had left for one reason or another (one was explicitly counseled out). In the case of two of them. as I understand it, the parents felt like their kids were being singled out, so found other schools (but the general consensus, and my own observations, suggested that the kids got singled out because they were disruptive). Most parents thought the school took too long to take action, and it resulted in impact on our non-dsiruptive kids' learning (and, yes, we're paying a lot, so felt annoyed at this delay). [/quote]

Thank you, that is helpful. The fact that I'm actually paying for school now certainly makes this more frustrating! I'd feel better if there was more day to day impact on the boys as presumably that would spur their parents to do something. For example, if the parents were called every time something happened or their son had to leave class and sit in the HOS office every time, I bet that would either spur them to leave voluntarily or do the hard work to fix their child's behavior. Instead, it feels like a lot of gentle redirection in class, which maybe is the right way to help that particular kid, but obviously then the rest of the class has to suffer through it too. [/quote]
