Plan A (imposing adult will) causes challenging behaviors in challenging students. It triggers mal-adaptive behaviors .
and it teaches "regular" kids that "might makes right "and perpetuates its use. Might have to use plan A in situations of safety. ex. Hurting other students or not complying with safety rules.
Plan B (collaborative problem solving) make take a little (or a lot) longer but it helps establish trust when the teacher works with the student to solve the problem.
