Hi Carin,

I'm completely amazed that "any parent" feels it's "ok" for their "children to fight". I'm puzzled why they feel "you did anything wrong" and/or you should "let them be".

I'm also wondering why the mother is upset about your "chat" with her son instead of "encouraging him" to use that energy in his "school work".

I also can't believe the teacher isn't noticing anything is happening as if they are all at a table there certainly has to be some noise going on.

I would speak with your daugther to see how she feels about being moved. She's probably formed a bond with the other girl that sits with her. If she doesn't want to move then she may have to tolerant them or speak with the principal about "separating" one of the "boys". Why should she be penalize because of their behavior. I know the other parents probably will not like it but if one of them is separated then that will "cut down" on the fighting and also they probably will get more work done at the table.

I can identify with you having an incompetent teacher. It sounds like she is just doing enough to get by.
