[QUOTE="Andy, post: 211364, member: 5096"] How many kids in the classroom? You have a good teacher there. She realizes that her teaching is not reaching the students. It is good that you are able to stop in to observe and help. Something that difficult child's teacher is doing (4th - 6th grade): At the beginning of every day, each child has five (5) fruit (very small plastic) on his or her table. Whenever there is a disciplinary issue, like talking out of turn, one piece of fruit is taken away. At the end of the day, each student gets one pretend dollar per fruit left on the table to accumulate and purchase something at the "class store" at the end of the month. If your teacher tries this, she may want to give points after each subject to start with to give a constant reminder of the importance of the fruit. For Sunday School, we had a similar issue during the opening. I set up a seating arrangement to separate those I knew where/would visit with each other. The kids hated that but I kept at it for about 3 - 4 weeks. I then told them we could go back to seating where ever they want but once there is a problem, we will go back to assigned seats again. However, this is one of the oldest tricks in the book and I am sure your teacher has either tried it or sees that it will not improve as all kids don't care who they are sitting next to, they will talk anyway? It is very frustrating to try teaching when that students are not listening. Sometimes giving an attention getting excersise will help. Have all kids stand at their desks, close their eyes, take a deep breath, exhale, open their eyes, and look to the teacher. If that works, the teacher will then have everyone's attention for hopefully long enough to get the next set of instructions out. I hope that you will find a way to help. [/QUOTE]
