Hi shadab in 4th standard I also had the same situation I was really naughty so my teacher arainged special seet for me just closed to her away from class till 12th standard teachers would want me to sit on the 1st banch because they know as soon as the teacher stoppes then ajay starts and I was too naughty I didn't miss even a single chance to moov away from my seet while in lunch or between other interwells and my friends also supported me they injoyed my company when we used to sit in class and have a chat then it was their duty to let me know when teacher is watching by touching me or some thing else and I used to become silent at once but in my whole school life I didn't let my self to loose the top 5 positions of my class in studies when my parents used to go in parents teacher meeting then teacher would say " this boy is excilent in studies but he is equally naughty" regards
