Reception dd sitting with a very unruly child at a "naughty"table what to do & why the placement?

[peppersneezes000]

Since my DD started YR she has been put sitting on the "red" table. She is one of oldest in year & is quiet & conscientious. The boy next to her is very unruly & she says he takes alot of teachers time & needs extra help. She doesn't seem to mind him & says they've become friends which is good. There are 2 other really naughty boys at her table too, I've seen these boys at the school collection & they are very unruly, DD says they are the same in class.
I asked the teacher in general how she was getting on & she replied "super, extremely bright child who seems to enjoy school do much & has impeccible"... If so why is she stuck on the "naughty table" as DD calls it.. is there logic behind it as I'm sure it must hamper her development but I'm no expert...

Dulce, what are you on about? In this thread alone there have been plenty of examples of people labelling boys as naughty 😕

Thank you for the replies, yes she like the boy but yesterday she had enough. They were sat doing matching for maths & the boy kept distracting her, pulling faces & moving her pairs of cards apart. She told the teacher that he was distracting her & she was unable to match her cards as he kept taking them apart & the teacher moved him to another seat for maths, my daughter was paired with one of her little friends & was able to do her work properly after that

My dd was sat next to 'the naughty boy' pretty much throughout primary because every other parent of a girl who had been sat next to him, went in and complained.
She isn't easily distracted and her mantra was "shut up Shane". She really liked him, just not his behaviour in class. She was always praised at parent's evening for her empathy.
At 16, she still is a lovely girl who is tolerant of others and I am proud of the way she is.

I’m not judgey or entitled or a Smug Mother of a Girl (I have a son too). What I do resent is my daughter essentially babysitting a boy to the detriment of her own needs. He’s supposed to have 1-1 supervision so her “influence” shouldn’t even be required.

She was even paired with him at lunchtime because “he eats so much better when he sits with me!” And she loves looking after children and being given positions of responsibility so she readily goes along with it. It was during one lunchtime that he assaulted her.

If this is the case then schools seem to start really young in teaching girls their needs are less important, the bad behaviour of boys is something they should mitigate and to be good little undemanding helpful types

This is exactly the problem Gemme and it makes me so uncomfortable.

Now in Y2 he is the top reader of the class

How can you even know this?

Not my child but in our case we knew as they have said they don’t have books hard enough for him and had to put him on yr 5/6 non fiction

Tangina I should have said IME...

Or maybe teaching them great leadership skills, and people managing skills, and, as twoheaped said tolerance and empathy. All skills that are going to stand you well in the work place, and indeed, in most places you spend time as adults.
