  Case: "My daughter sits with all boys?"
At the beginning of the school year I had my desks in groups of three to four. I had a parent email me and explain that her daughter felt bullied because she was a table with all boys. The table consisted of her daughter and two other boys. I tried to explain that the desks were in groups of three and one gender would out weigh the other. She did not seem to understand. What would you say to a parent if this happened to you?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would explain that you set up the class specifically so that students get different opinions and interactions from each other, and that by allowing the student to sit with others, regardless of gender, that you are allowing them better interactions with their peers. To solidify this reason I would make sure that the students rotated every so often and that the student is allowed to sit with other girls as well.
