To ask for DS to be moved?

[DontRollWithThePinches]

DS is 7.
He is very smart, quiet and top of the class. I feel this is relevant because he never misbehaves in class or starts arguments.

When he started last week he was on a table and he was happy.

He's been moved and he came home to tell me that he's been put on another table and is sitting next to X.

And X pinched his hand 3 times because DS wouldn't allow X to copy his work.

He has marks on his hand.

DS told immediately and X was sent to the head teacher.

2 things:

1- AIBU to ask that DS is moved away from X? It is the first incident but he's already said he hopes he doesn't get pinched again tomorrow :(

2- This all came from DS. The teacher didn't mention it at all at pick up. DS wouldn't lie and he has the marks.

But after confirming what happened with the teacher tomorrow WIBU to ask her just why I was not informed that my son was pinched?

We had the 'quiet child will help disruptive child' numerous times with DD. Drives her mad as she can't get on wth her with and her 'table' gets told off (which she hates). It's a bloody tragedy that behavioural support has been pulled from schools because it leaves teachers having to use shit strategies like this...I have to say if it carries on I'd press for your dad to be moved

Dad ds onv

He's already been moved

And X had pinched him again and told him he goinng to 'bang him out'

Which got him sent to head again
This was yesterday.

DS told me today.

So teacher didn't tell me about this 2nd incident either

It's also my job and I have done seating plans.

While i agree with seating plans being so helpful to allow mixed ability children to develop each other intellectually.
But it's totally unacceptable to to constantly expect the same child to be the keeper of one child behaviour wise.

And in my daughter case that exactly what it was. She was "a good influence on the disruptive child in question"
She was constantly telling him to shut up, behave, being distracted, picked on etc. Again that's not my daughter's job. And she shouldn't lose out on learning time because of this.
And as I know, the job of a teacher is hard but it's not fair to put the burden onto one of the "good children" of the class.

I taught a class this had happened in for years. Two girls, one in particular, helped a child with SEN. the school screwed up and there was no TA for her until I kicked up a fuss. When I separated them, one girl actually thanked me. They remained very good friends but in my class they were separated. They both thrived because of it.
