Ok, so this may seem like a lame thread title, but DD came home yesterday complaining that she is having trouble concentrating in class because of the group that she is seated with.

Bit of background info... first day of school and we arrived 'late' at 8.30am and the only seat left for DD to choose from was with a group of boys. (tables have 6 kids at them) She was a little upset, but eventually got over it.

Last term she started coming home complaining about being bored. I happened to mention it to her teacher, who was extremely concerned that it was her fault for not noticing, and said she would give DD some extra work in class if she wanted it.
I thought it might have been something she was 'going through' at the time, especially as she had just become a big sister, and i thought it might have been a bit of an adjustment issue in general.

So then last night she tells me she is having trouble concentrating because of the boys at her table.

Now, I know that she doesn't have a problem sitting with the boys, so I'm pretty sure this isn't why she wants to move. I do believe her when she says she is having trouble concentrating, but I feel like I'll be a whinging parent asking the teacher to move another child from their seat to my DD's.

How would you feel? Would you feel like a whinging troublemaker? (I hate making a fuss) or would you just get on with it because ultimately it's not about me is it?

I would have to have a quiet chat with her teacher about it though, all the kids in the class know when other parents have gone over and asked their kids be moved ( especially the parent whose child had had a tiff with one girl at her table) and I wouldn't want DD to be singled out by some girls as a result.
