School is coming!! And I am not looking forward to it. Tired of everything being tied to behavior and so little about academics. An assembly-line type system in the general education setting and unless something is “wrong” with your child requiring special education, there is no provision for an education tailored to the way a child actually learns. Behaviors are still largely dealt with in a reactionary fashion with punitive responses to inappropriate behaviors after they have already occurred, though there is a growing movement to finally implement POSITIVE behavioral interventions on a school-wide basis rather than on a child-by-child basis. Even still, all schools maintain disciplinary records for each student, which speaks to the culture of public school administration and its perception of children who behave inappropriately at school. If there still weren’t such a punitive mindset, they would be called behavioral records or something else non-judgmental.
