[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is at the same table with a boy shouting constantly and never listen to teachers. Another kid at the same class would also scream and cry. My DC told us she’s so tired and depressed but what can we do? I’m sorry for those kids have ADHD or whatever but why is my child the one suffers?[/quote]

Your child will be fine. The ADHD kid - will most likely suffer from debilitating self-esteem issues as he transitions into adolescence, start to not care about school and underperform, and struggle his whole life to maintain healthy relationships. Your daughter will be taking her AP classes and will not have to worry about having those crazy, disruptive kids in her classes anymore. [/quote]

Nope, I was one of the "good" kids and teachers would use me to separate the bad actors. I did ok, but never succeeded like the kids who weren't used as human shields around the problem kids. [/quote]

I have a well behaved kid and I thought I was imagining it when he was always put in the class with all the bad kids and all the ESOL kids. It just felt like he was always with the bad kids. Several years later, another mom told me it was called balancing. She said they would put all the kids who needed support in a class so the aids didn’t jump from multiple classrooms in the same grade. They would then add the better behaved kids to the same class to make it easier for the teacher. Maybe better for the teacher but worse for my kid. I was glad to know that I wasn’t imagining it.

He is now in middle school and kids are separated by ability. [/quote]

This thread is now appalling. The entitlement and privilege of some families is unbearable.[/quote]

I think it is terrible that schools put all the bad kids in one class and throw my good kid in there. Yes, I think that is wrong. If I knew back then that this was happening, I would have said something. I had no idea. I just felt like my kid was neglected and that year after year, it seemed like all the bad kids were in his class.

Can you imagine a whole class full of kids like OP’s? I don’t want my kid in that class.[/quote]

I feel the same as you OP. I could have written the exact same. My kid is repeatedly put in classes with several kids who need 1:1 help. I thought that maybe all classroom are like that but I am starting to doubt it. There are 3 adults daily in his classroom,  but it's apparently not enough. At some point, I would like my kid to be considered as something else than a buffer and someone who can be ignored.[/quote]
