Keep in mind that teaching the students to deal with distractions isn't the teachers job. They have a list of teaching standards and goals they're expected to achieve, and they're expected to provide the most effective environment and instruction available to meet those standards. Eliminating distractions is an extremely obvious and practical way to do that.

Did I not say if it becomes a distraction Id deal with it as a parent? Im aware of what a teacher does.
