[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless your kid has an IEP with a proven emotional need for quiet space, it's not going to be tolerated that he just gets up under tables because adults are "annoying" him.[/quote]

A lot of kids who are 6 need quiet space and it's not just the ones with IEPs. In our classroom's quiet corner a lot of kids who do not have IEPs use it.
Refusing to do an activity is not the same as disrupting the class unless he's doing something else like screaming. If he's quietly under a table the children should be able to ignore and go about their own work. The only time it becomes a classroom disruption is when an inexperienced teacher panics and calls in the guidance counselor.
This happened once in my child's class one year while I was volunteering. Teacher let the kid go under the table. Teacher ignored her, told kids who were giggling to ignore her. The child was there for 5 minutes and came right back out. I couldn't tell if she was doing it for attention or because she was upset or being silly. I know the parents and am pretty sure the child does not have an IEP.[/quote]
