When I was in high school, I had a behavior plan for an “emotional-behavioral disorder.” I even got to sit in on the meetings and help write it.
My favorite accommodation: I could leave class whenever I felt “stressed” or about to “cause a disturbance.” I used it daily.
It didn’t help. It taught me to avoid anything hard, manipulate the adults, and blame everyone else for my problems.
Plans like that don’t “support” kids like me; they train us to be worse.
“Misbehavior is an expression of an unmet need!”
No, no, no, no, no, no it is NOT
Affluent children from healthy families act out and need consequences
Poor kids from broken homes can rise above their circumstances
Misbehavior is a manifestation of human sin, pure and simple
