Your misinformation comes from the idea that parents are just arbitrarily getting their children an ODD diagnosis to keep them from getting in trouble.

Not all, but yes. This happens.

I can tell you that my mother was able to bully a school into putting half days into my brothers IEP because she wanted to keep him home for weirdass emotional incest reasons.

your school is heavily under-resourced

I have worked across multiple districts. I have talked to multiple teachers from other schools. This is a matter of federal law.

Which schools aren’t “heavily under-resourced?”

I had a parent have a meltdown today because I wrote that their student stole something and lied about it. They were livid at the fact that I called a student taking something from me and telling me they didn’t to my face “stealing and lying.” Parents are absolutely happy to raise hell because teachers are just supposed to be passive punching bags.
