[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you to the first few posters - no, I haven't spoken to the teacher yet, mainly because I just don't know what I should say or what help I should ask for, so thank you for providing suggestions regarding how to ask for that help/support.

You sound crazy. Some of the PPs are describing extreme situations in which concerns are valid.

You sound like your are whining because your perfect snowflake has a child in their class who is less than perfect. You are the type of parent that teachers mock behind your back.

[/quote]. Teacher here. No this parent does not sound crazy. Their child is upset by this change. A truly troubled ES student can indeed tank a previously harmonious class if they are really out of control (violent, suicidal, elopement risk, constantly sharing disturbing details of their lives, menacing to other children). [/quote]

Another teacher here.  Agree.  The parent doesn't sound crazy at all.  We do NOT talk about parents like this behind their backs.  These type of parents help everyone.  She is calm, advocating in a calm way for her own child and her advocacy will likely help the other child too.  Instead of the system stalling on true help for the violent child, its possible this might speed true help up.  [/quote]

Another teacher. If a parent told me a child was in tears from a new child "completely changed the feeling of a classroom" and took up too much of my time I would be truly concerned about her child (not the other child.) There are always disruptive kids every year in my class and most of the other kids handle it fine. Their parents often don't even know because it's not a part of the day that they report. back to their parents. If your child is having this type of reaction I would get our counselor involved and try to figure out what exactly is upsetting your child.

I have had children like this who are extra sensitive and there are things we can do to watch out for them like putting them in a seat further away from the disruptive child or making sure they are not put in the same groups for assignments. Let the teacher know. Realize that your child's reaction is not extremely unusual but it's also not not the common reaction.[/quote]
