Would you say something to the teacher?
DS is five and in Kindy. He loves school and has a great adjustment since September. There is one girl in his class that he describes as mean, bossy and rude. She tells him he can't be friends with certain kids or play certain games, etc. I've asked him to be patient, ignore her, find other friends, etc. The problem is that they sit at the same table of four kids so he can't really can't avoid her. I mentioned this to his teacher at the conference last month and she assured me that seating is changed every month. She even said that she would seat him next to one of his BFF. Great. New seating arrangements are done, he's with one of his close friends but STILL with THIS GIRL. Ugh! DS tells me again today that she interrupts him playing with another kids today for no reason. Do I say something to the teacher?
ETA Thanks everyone for the responses. I sent in a very diplomatic note to the teacher and didn't assign blame. She changed DS's seat and he's been happy since.

Truthfully, I wouldn't bother. There are only so many kids in the class and 10 months out of the year the kids are in school.
Unfortunately, kids need to start learning to ignore and/or work with children they don't like or don't get along with

Yes I would absolutely call the teacher. Your DS shouldn't have to deal with her again, for another month.

I would say something to the teacher. We have had an issue in dd's pre-k class.
The teacher should say something to that girl's parents.

I think you should mention it to the teacher if it is really bothering your child...
as an aside to this, the teacher may be dealing with the little girl's behavior and it is not any other parent's business if she is, so she won't share that information with another parent. As a teacher, I can't tell you the personal business of another student, including if they have a plan to help manage their behavior or if they have a horrendous situation going on that may be impacting it. It is always a tough situation when you have a child in class who is struggling behaviorally, but know that the teacher is probably managing it the best way that she can.

If it was my son, I would talk to the teacher again.
