  Case: Outbursts and Behavior Plans
Mrs. Bradley has a student with an IEP for behavior. The students behaviors can be so severe that it impairs the student's academic performance. When the student is upset, the plan calls for time to calm down and relocation until mood has changed. Whenever the student is asked to complete a task the student does not like, the students claims to be upset and leaves the room. Other students are taking notice, and have mentioned special treatment is shown the other student. Without infringing on the student's right to privacy, what should Mrs. Bradley say to other students when this occurs?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would explain to the class that equal treatment may not always seem fair. Everyone is different in their own way and they need matters adjusted for them accordingly. The teacher has a responsibility to make sure students are successful and understanding differences is a part of that.
