Too Conscientious: "It's My Fault, They Are Going to Fire the Teachers"
Leone, Beth; Whitson, Signe
Reclaiming Children and Youth, v21 n4 p55-61 Win 2013
A high school student with a learning disability struggles under intense pressure to meet standards of a state's standardized testing. Fearing that his failure will cause teachers to be fired, he acts out in ways to be punished. This interview shows how valuable it is to drain off intense emotions and make sense of a situation following a student's crisis.
