[quote=Anonymous]I think most parents and teachers underestimate how hard parents of kids with special needs like dyslexia, anxiety and other issues beg the schools for services and are denied. Teachers who try to get their kids help are often shut down or even reprimanded for telling the parents about the issues. So a child with a learning disability who isn’t helped becomes a behavior issue, then they are punished for the behavior and it escalated as they feel isolated and misunderstood. Estimates are that 80% of people in prison have an unaddressed learning disability like dyslexia. This cycle is less likely for affluent kids because their parents can afford reading tutors and counseling for social skills etc. I absolutely agree there should be consequences for behavior in school. But I think we first have to ask what have we done to contribute to the behavior especially in elementary school.[/quote]
