During my observations I saw a student where no matter where they were moved in the seating arrangement they would make friends and start becoming a distraction over and over, like a cycle. What would stop this cycle? Would I need to implement a discipline plan? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I dealt with this last year as a kindergarten teacher. It was a very smart child who finished early with her assignments early (correctly) and got bored easily so became social with anyone I put her by. I started to put her near a student that struggled and put them together. She became his "helper" and would tutor him. It helped me out a lot because I would ask her to explain it to him while I helped other students. She was a very gifted child. However, students who are a distraction and not helpful, I would put them near a student who did not like to get in trouble and enjoyed keeping to themselves. There is usually one of those children in every class and do not succumb to peer pressure as easily. I had a little girl who would refuse to engage with other students because she did not like to be called on at all, or had attention brought to her. If that doesn't help, it may be beneficial to talk to the parents and suggest that the student have his/her own table for a while. Then as you integrate them back into cluster tables, remind that child they can go back to their "island" if they don't stop distracting others.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Your plan to seat students according to their behavior and skills is a creative way to deal with the problem of too much talking. It's crucial to adapt your approach to each student's needs and draw on their advantages in order to benefit the class.

Though, I do remind them that school is a place for learning. If these issues continue to happen, I would send a letter home to the parents, and separate the student on an island.
