It’s called Dr. Spock. 200 years of spanking in the school environment came to a screeching halt. His cookie cutter model of discipline fit if all kids were the same, but they are not! One child conforms immediately through logic and anxiety if admonished, another needs a more physical correction type response to misbehavior. Spock sold a lot of books, but ruined classroom order.

The second poison pill was full inclusion.

The last poison pill was IEP protections from discipline.
