<p>Right on, python20. That’s where I would start. I would also include my own solution to the problem in that communique. </p>
<p>"…my daughter states that does not feel comfortable being seated at the same lunch table with students of the opposite sex while her female peers are seated at their own table. I feel it would be reasonable to request that she be allowed to sit with her female peers. I appreciate the school’s efforts to maintain a positive learning environment for the students and I look forward to hearing from you.". Or something along these lines.</p>
<p>I have had to contact the teacher and principal on different occasions regarding different issues. I make an effort to review the school and district policies as well as the state Ed code. I know it sounds drastic but I have found that a teacher or administrator is often more “professional” in their response when they know you’ve done your homework.</p>
