[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the best way to deal with these kids/parents is to forbid your kids from being friends with them or doing things with them outside school. Most of these defensive parents are the type who are super offended if someone suggests that little Larlo is a bad influence and won't be allowed to play with the other kids, so you might need to work it from that angle because it's the only thing they seem to understand.[/quote]

It always surprises me how little insight teachers -- and apparently parents -- have into what makes kids tick. Give these kids some extra responsibility or otherwise utilize the extra zest they have in spades. Why punish a kid? The school's job is to teach them, and reach them. The only happy outcome of punishing is for sadists.[/quote]

Please tell me this is sarcasm. Please! [/quote]

No, it's not. There just aren't that many gifted teachers out there. We've had some, so I know they exist. Some teachers know how to work magic on kids like this -- some don't give a shit about them.[/quote]

So every disruptive kid is just craving to be a helper and most teachers can’t see that?  Riiiiight. [/quote]

No. Some teachers have a few tricks up their sleeves, and know how to reach a variety of personalities. Some don't. I've seen both.[/quote]
