[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher. I can tell you this teacher is not picking on your kid. You aren’t getting the full story. 90% chance your kid’s behavior is the issue. That’s the cold hard truth. Teachers don’t look for 12 year olds to “pick on.”[/quote]

Are you for real? My first grade teacher had us arrange our desks in a U shape, with the best-behaved kids on the side in front of her so if someone looked in the class the kids facing the door were the best behaved. Then the next group were along the back wall, and the "worst" kids were in the row closest to the door so they could be most easily sent to the hall or to the principal's office. First grade. [/quote]

Actually that is a reasonable idea, maybe not for 1st grade but certainly for older grades. The kids who are misbehaving who need to be sent out can make quite a disruption as they leave when they pass by other kids' desks. Putting them closer to the door negates much of that issue.[/quote]

+1. I'm not sure why people have an issue with teachers minimizing disruptive behavior. Disruptive kids with patterns of disruptiveness and bad behavior should segregated as much as possible. Before you come at me, I say this as a parent of a child who is often 'singled-out' for misbehaving. [/quote]
