“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.
How am I making it worse for the kid that needs more help? I follow the IEP. I show care and compassion for that student. Absolutely nothing I have said here has indicated otherwise. You assume, because of the hypersensitivity. My frustrations I talk to with adults. I just fucking bought a birthday present for the kid that I have been primarily frustrated with.
How many times in my career do you think I have watched a student carve a gangs name into my desk, brought it up to their parent, and been told I was lying? Do you want to guess a specific number?
You naively assume that if one does everything right, it fixes all the problems. Children are not computers. Some children are just not meant to be in a classroom with 29 other students.
