Hi, my son has just gone into year 6. He's lovely. He's academic, he's sporty, he's a lovely friend, and he tries his hardest at everything he does. He's always been well loved by his past teachers. This year the school has decided to move away from ability tables and has put the kids into kagan structures tables. We haven't been given any information about this and I am struggling to understand the benefits for the brighter children.
However, the main issue I have, is not that he's sitting with lower ability children, but that he's sitting with actively disruptive children. It's a big primary school with big classes and a lot of children who are difficult. Always having been on ability tables he has been away from the sharp edge of that, but now he's with a kid who is swearing and goading and being loud and basically making his life a misery. I've been to school and I've been told that they're giving the children tips on how to deal with it, and my child must tell a teacher every time it happens, and the other child will be punished by having to stay in and write the class rules out etc etc. I don't want this for him though, I just want him moving away, but they won't. AIBU?? I'm pretty sure I'm not and it is very unfair, so what should I do??
