“We have to set an example for all of our students; even if suspension doesn’t help Frankie, at least it sets an example for our other students. We need to let them know that we take this kind of behavior seriously at our school. QUESTION: What message do we give the other students if we continue to apply interventions that aren’t helping Frankie behave more adaptively? ANSWER: That we’re actually not sure how to help our students with concerning behaviors. QUESTION: What’s the likelihood that the students who don’t exhibit concerning behaviors will begin to exhibit concerning behaviors if we did not make an example of Frankie? ANSWER: As a general rule, slim to none. QUESTION: What message do we give Frankie if we continue to apply strategies that aren’t working? ANSWER: We don’t understand you and we can’t help you.”
