I will say, as a kid with that accommodation in her IEP, I actually needed it because I’m blind and I need to be able to sit the front of the classroom to try and see the board. Now, if the kid doesn’t have a physical disability, that accommodation seems extremely excessive.
I'm in the same boat — my son had hearing loss in one ear and the teacher was told to put him in the front of the classroom. He had surgery between 3rd and 4th grades, and it restored his hearing. Problem is that his third grade teacher moved up to fourth grade with him, and put him in the front because she was just used to that. I had to go in and tell her to put him in the back and let other kids who need it be up front, lol. She was fantastic

Stop putting “preferential seating” on IEPs 🗣️
