Unfortunately, the other kids variable is something that you can only control by moving away. I had to do that in the east bay, California, when the schools started taking more inner-county transfers and running busses. The greatschools score went from ~7.5 to 4 in 2 years. The test scores plunged and they pulled money from the school because it wasn&#x27;t performing. Like that helps.<p>You can try to work with the school, the teacher, the principal, but you can&#x27;t really work with the other parents. I can&#x27;t even imagine how you&#x27;d begin that conversation. &quot;Hey, little Johnny acts like a complete asshole and disrupts the class to the point that they are spending their heads down on their desk for half an hour a day. Can you step up and do something about his behavior?&quot; Obviously I&#x27;m never going to be a politician, but how can that ever be phrased in a neutral way?!
