“Oppositional Defiance Disorder” is a diagnosis that can get a student an IEP.
So a disruptive, violent child can show up to school every day - throw chairs, bring drugs to school - then get mom or dad to take them to the doc to diagnose them with ODD. It’s a manifestation of their disability.
“Inclusion” also means that these children need to be placed in the same classroom as all the other children. So 29 children are subject to the violence of 1.
Yes. Because you not only made a post pessimistically cherry picking facts about the the thing you posted, your defenses are revealing that you are resentful and angry about it.
“Cherry picking” - it is a fact that students on IEPs cannot be suspended for more than ten days without a “manifestation determination meeting.” If the meeting determines that the cussing, skipping class, or being physically violent towards children and teachers is a product of the disability, they cannot be suspended for it.
You can find hundreds of teachers on TikTok and elsewhere describing being physically assaulted and expected to just deal with it.
If I was such a shitty person, I don’t think I’d be giving gifts to and smiling at a 16 year old who called me a fucking removed to my face. Probably wouldn’t be spending $200+/month on supplies for a job that pays me so little I need two part time jobs on top either I guess.
Cherry picking is telling specific facts without telling other facts. You can’t beat accusations of cherry picking by showing how your statements are factual. You are being accused of omitting important relevant facts.
And just because you’re good at masking your resentment doesn’t mean you aren’t resentful. If you’re going to educate children, get a therapist and show them this post and your replies to comments.
Or you, know, do what most shitty teachers do and think of yourself as the victim of a system setup to protect children against your interests.
Which important facts am I omitting?
I’m not masking resentment. I am pretty fucking resentful that I am not a mental health professional or social worker, while still being expected to perform their jobs on top of my own.
I have been raped and taught the next day. Believe it or not I’m pretty fucking good at my job.
