[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the perspective of someone who's taught in the classroom: Yes, teachers do often use the quiet, well behaved children to balance out table groups. No, we don't always know their inner struggles. When anxiety or past social struggles are involved, it's completely appropriate to get in touch with the teacher, particularly if the situation is interfering with learning. It's not a huge deal to reshuffle table groups now that we're a few weeks into the school year. [/quote]

Good teachers reshuffle the table configurations several times per year, so that one child is not left next to the problem child all or most of the year.  It is not fair or right to put such a huge responsibility and distraction on one child.

Quiet, well behaved children should not be punished for being quiet or well behaved.  I know one disruptive kid who could not listen, sit still or follow directions (among other issues) - and it meant whoever sat next to him was not allowed hear directions, either.  That gets old quick. If that kid needs a personal aide, the parents should be requesting one - but my kid is not on duty for your kid 24/7 - because that interferes with my child's right to learn.

It has nothing to do with Harvard or anything else, as other PP incorrectly insinuated.  Maybe parents like other PP should be doing more for their child, and not be so interested in the other students who are simply trying to learn at school. Maybe if you weren't so judgy, other parents would be more willing to help you. [/quote]
