“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.

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.
