Pete, it's the teacher's responsibility to ensure that every child is on task at the appropriate time. The teacher needs to make sure your boy is engaged properly. Obviously, if you son is finished his work well prior to the rest of the class, then the teacher needs to make adjustments. Of course, you need to make sure that your son respects the teacher's authority and classroom rules.

I will have to check and be sure that him finishing first is the case. I do know she says he misses directions because he is yapping, yet he gets :smile: on all the papers he brings home. I wold like to think he is an Einstien and that it is too easy and he is finished first and is bored but I am not 100% sure that is the case. I need to sit down with her and develope a coordinated assault plan. I think the desk seperated from everyone will work. 1. It gives him no one to talk to and 2. It alienates him from the rest which he WILL NOT LIKE. Maybe that will inspire him to STHU

Everyone is assuming that he is finishing his work. This wasn't the case with my son. He would rather socialize than be burden with the mundane task of school work. It wasn't as challenging, but it still needs to be done. Just like in the real world, most of my task are mundane but nonetheless must be done. I cannot chit chat with my co-workers all day long and expect to get anything done. I think you can tell him how you feel about the notes until your blue in the face, but kids need to see the repercussion of their actions. This is why I told the teacher to move his desk away from the other kids, since her warnings, my warnings didn't seem to be effective. I'd rather his desk be moved away from the other kids in the 2nd grade then say high school.

I have above average organizational skills, because my performance evaluation says so. :wink:

Definitely talk to the teacher in depth and go from there. Personally, I wouldn't like for my child to be ostracized from the rest of the class as a means of solving his talkativeness. Elementary age children can be very mean to any child they perceive as different. At his young age positive reenforcement still works. After talking with the teacher, if you're not satisfied with how she wants to handle the situation, you can request that an IEP [Individual Educational Plan?] be developed for your child. This would especially be beneficial if its determined that your son needs to be challenged more effectively. I had this done for one of my girls in Kindergarten, she could not sit still, even when on task. It was determined that she should be allowed to stand at her desk or sit on the floor as long as she stayed on task and finished her work. Good luck. :smile:

When I was a kid, the teacher would ask to move my desk all the time. I was one of those kids that wasn't challenged enough. Nobody made fun of me for not sitting with the rest of the class. These days, people are too quick to worry about what others will say. If it works for your kid, do it, everyone else be damned. Kids make fun of kids, thats the way it is and always has been. I didn't have and IEP and I turned out fine. Like it's not gonna alienate the kid even more to have and Individual Education Plan?

Dontcha know we have to coddle the kids now days so we don't damage their self-esteem. :rolleyes:

Do they still put bad kids in corners and really bad kids out in the hallway (desk and all)?

I don't know if they still do or not, but they did when I was in Elementary school. Not so much the corner, but out in the hallway. Or the bad kids had to stay inside either with the teacher or in the library during recess. I didn't get sent to the hallway until high school. And 5 years later, I still don't think I deserved to go...

And that's how you end up with people like a certain someone on this board.

Well my plan is in work. I told the teacher to not hold back and take all his sticks today and send me a note (for show) since I already knew what it would say. I went to get him and already knew, he did too. We got in the truck and started talking aobut it and I got a teeny bit heated with him because he wasn't exactly getting the gravity of the situation. We discussed it and he began his evening TVless in shock actually. He started the playground lawyer act trying to parse words and plea bargain but I got an A in playground law in school. :smile: We had dinner and he got to watch 1 toon before going off to bed in his room 1/2 early. We discussed it more and he tried another plea bargain but it failed. he is going to be on the no fun deal until Friday folders come out and I see a better report. I think he was tore up about no hot tub worse than toons.
