So, I just got the second "incident notice" in 2 weeks that DD is in trouble at school for talking in class. A note goes home that we parents have to sign, and she loses recess for a day.

Her version of the story is that she was just answering the question of a boy who sits next to her (both times). The first time, the boy wanted her to repeat something that the teacher said that he missed. The second time, he wanted her to explain something on their math paper.

I asked her why did she answer if she knew she wasn't supposed to be talking? She said that the boy was insistently whispering to her, and she didn't want to be rude and ignore him. She also told the teacher that the reason why she was talking was that she was answering this boy's questions, but the teacher didn't care and still wrote her up.

Then I found out the name of the boy. He is not a bully or a troublemaker. He is actually very charming and sweet. I'm guessing that DD likes this boy, and wants to be his friend, so she does not want to ignore him even though she gets in trouble.

I'm also assuming that the issue with her talking in class could easily be solved by moving her away from him, for several reasons.

1) She hasn't gotten in trouble for talking in class for a long long time......since 1st grade (she is in 4th grade now).

2) The teacher moves the seats of the entire class around, about every month or so. The week of her first incident notice corresponded with her just being moved to sit next to this boy.

3) The seats where she and this boy sit are in the back rows of the classroom.

So, now my question....how do I approach the teacher to ask that her seat be moved? I don't want to labelled as "that parent" who thinks that their kid can do no wrong.

The teacher has already shown that she doesn't care that my DD is responding to a classmate's question.
My only thought is that I could tell a little white lie and say that DD can't see/hear well from the back of the class and ask that she be moved to the front. Or is there a better way to approach it?

I'm especially interested in hearing from the teachers out there. How would you like a parent to deal with this situation?

I went to a parent/teacher night at high school a couple of weeks ago.

One mother seated in front of me raised her hand and told the teacher that her precious angel is furious with the teacher "because you are very general in class, but very specific on tests."

Not only did she embarrass the teacher in front of all the other parents, she obviously failed to consider that the problem may be with her whiny brat.

Parents are so indulgent nowadays. They even drive their children to school because they are too wonderful to go on a school bus.

I have been of the opinion for many years that 75% of the human race needs to be sterilized. There are far too many fools raising children that turn out to be as foolish as their parents, if not more so.

These days it is a rare occasion when I actually meet people who have children who are actually raising the children properly. And the more wealthy and advantaged they are the worse the children seem to be turning out.
