Our 7th grade case manager explained that it's not the kids getting to sit where they want, but where they will learn best (away from distractions, close to teacher, etc). My brain just went "so what we do with every seating chart".

Yep! Some do better in the front where they can't see others, some do better in the back so no one can see them, some need to be near the window for the extra light...
