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 simply just move the female away from that particular group and move another female that wouldn't mind being in a group with two other boys. Sometimes when it comes to parents, just like anything else, we mush choose our battles and that's not one that we should be willing to fight. |

Comments: I would not move her without first asking how she is being bullied, and explaining to the mother that the way the groups are set up is to encourage interaction. |

Comments: I believe this is the best solution. After explaining to the parent why it is set up this way if they still don't like it then I would suggest just switching the groups around. |

Comments: I agree that this is not a battle that is worth having a huge fuss over. It would be very easy to simply move the child. I agree with this solution, even though I do not think the parent is right. |

Comments: I would do the same, there is no harm is moving the female to another table as there could be truth to the situation and that is one way to find out if the new small group works better for the student. |

Comments: Choosing battles is key and I agree that in this case, although it is frustrating and you probably have a perfect reason for putting those 3 students together, I would see if another arrangement would work just as well. |

Comments: This is very true. Just move the child and then the parent will be happy. No need to fight over something so small. Talking with both the parent and child is important too about this issue. |
