“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.

“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.
