[quote=Anonymous]In 4th grade, I might intervene. In 7th grade, for one class?  I’d follow the schools escalation policy.  So I would tell DC she needs to approach the teacher and tell her that she has been having trouble concentrating and asked to be moved.  If she was having trouble approaching the teacher, I would role play with her and/or assist her in drafting an email.  If the teacher was not responsive, then I would have DD follow the school’s escalation policy and talk to her guidance counselor.

If the problem was still not solved, I would step in and email the teacher and guidance counselor. But, I would not assume I had gotten 100% of the story from DD. My DD is honest and a good kid. But 7th grade is age 12. They might tell a lie to deal with an uncomfortable situation or not tell you the whole story.

How does your school want issues addressed OP?  Do that. By middle school, kids should take the lead in resolving problems, because self advocacy is a life skills. [/quote]
