She was placed in our Non-Public school, a school for serious behavior difficulties. The teachers and aides were all trained in Choice Theory, and as much as possible, they practiced Choice Theory. It is difficult to stay true to the practice of Choice Theory when you work with someone as difficult as Ella.
Ella was tested when she was 4 by the school district for possible preschool help. She was placed in a special education program and was graduated to kindergarten in time. The whole thing ended when she sat on a bench at recess by herself and and when a very tiny girl sat next to her she picked her up and threw her 6 feet onto the blacktop. She just didn't want someone she didn't know next to her. She had no idea she hurt someone. She had no concept. She was removed from public school.
