Imagine You Are a Teacher

Imagine you are a teacher. You are currently attending a meeting that was convened to discuss Martin, a student in your sixth-grade class whose behavior has been quite disruptive. A psychologist who has recently conducted an in-depth psychological evaluation says that Martin has an emotional-behavioral disorder. From this information you should conclude that:

A) Martin's behavior problems are probably the result of a brain injury or abnormal body chemistry.
B) Martin's parents or other primary caregivers have been largely to blame for his behavior problems.
C) Previous teachers have been inconsistent in how they've treated Martin; some may have been too strict, whereas others have been quite lenient.
D) The source of Martin's behavior problems may be either biological or environmental.
