Greatest driving song of all time . <| sep |> It ' s not so much a focus , the school is focused on making money I ' m being brutally honest here , the staff are not well taken care of because of this and , despite our outstanding work , students are not as prepared as they could be and buy their grades . The anxiety and behavioural issues come up a lot because these students cannot function in a larger , public classroom . Small class sizes min . 4 , max . 14 as well as the opportunity to take onlineoneonone courses also helps facilitate their learning and success into upper years . A lot of times , these students are the result of helicopter parents with a focus on sheltering emotions and protecting their kids from all things that can upset them . It doesn ' t always help , especially when anxiety begins to develop the students don ' t have the tools to cope , so I work with them to get them through the content I teach science and senior biology as well as basic skills . They don ' t need to be in a state of fightorflight all the time , over homework tasks , etc . I ' ve seen improvements in some students , mostly those who had slipped through the cracks or were working with teachers who simply didn ' t understandknow to manage their stress responses I also have my special education certification , so I have a wide resource of tools in my toolbox ! lol , so to speak . but there are a lot of students that are simply beyond my reach . We do our best to help equip them for the real world , but it ' s a growing challenge . More and more students are dealing with anxiety , with the abundant increase in ASD diagnoses we are seeing more behavior issues in schools , but they ' re manageable . We have entire classrooms of students with ASD i . e . ASD science and personalities can seriously clash . I hope I answered your questions . It ' s a tricky situation without divulging too much information ! Feel free to shoot me a message if you have more questions
