Beyond Student X's IEP
by Haylie Decatur
1. She admits to becoming angry and frustrated in school when she doesn't understand something because it makes her feel "stupid." She is working on finding ways to cope with her emotions.
1.1. Student X has emotional disabilities that she is quite aware of. Her discussion of her disability reminded me of Darryl Robinson's quote, "school often felt like a battlefield." (Robinson, 2012) For her, struggling in school is deeply connected to her self-esteem which can lead to extreme negative self talk that student X expressed she is working on.
