[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who think "it's the teacher's problem" are the same ones who will be demanding the teacher's head on a platter if she implements meaningful classroom consequences. [/quote]

That's what I'm thinking, too.

OP what would you have her do?  He's your child, what would work?

Teachers hands are tied.  I'm not sure there is much left that they are allowed to do anymore.  You can't send them to the hallway, or take away recess.  You need to find a gentle, nice way to deal with this.  That takes more time.  As a parent I'm annoyed when at this point in the year, there is a kid who STILL takes up a lot of the teacher's time like this.  If there's a real reason behind it, fine.  However OP insists it is just this teacher so I doubt it's ADHD or anything else.

OP, what do you do at home?  You take away his time like he took away the teacher's time.  She isn't allowed to do that anymore.  So, for every minute that he wasted he has to practice at home.  Sit quietly for that number of minutes.  See if he can do it.

If he can then make the point that every time he takes away the teacher's time by not listening, you will take away his.[/quote]
