There's nothing funnier than a school board's "behaviour plan" for messed up kids

Behaviour plans are a thing. They're part of the Individual Educational Plan (IEP) policy that mandates tailoring a child's educational trajectory to their specific challenges.

Most kids don't have specific needs or challenges. They just want to get through their four or five or six or seven years years of high school without being fingered as "special."

I saw those behaviour plans all the time. In fact, I used to write them. IEPs too. 

When you got to the "behaviour plan" protocol, you were basically making excuses for a public health system that seems to miss a lot of folks.

Like the seriously mentally ill.

When you have to write in a kid's behaviour plan that, when he thinks he's Jesus, it is best to just evacuate the classroom immediately, shouldn't that kid maybe be somewhere other than in a classroom in a public school?
