[quote=Anonymous]I’ve got a melter-downer. I think apologies are important when aggression or property destruction is involved. However it has to be part of an overall behavioral plan. I don’t like it when teachers seem fixated on the apology, and especially if they create more dysregulation by getting in a standoff about forcing an apology in the moment. I don’t like forcing the kid to humiliate themselves by apologizing to the whole class. The apology should go to people directly affected. Also, it seems to be true that teachers want to force apologies out of the SN kids more than the NT kids. For whatever reason they seem to think they need to make more of a show out of it. This can be really bad because not only is it discrimination but it can also create a downward spiral of behavior. [/quote]
