Through my advocacy work, I have discovered that teachers do not provide students with disabilities with individualized attention as outlined in a student's individual education plan. Teachers continue to follow administrators' instructions to shift the burden of education onto the student, causing students anxiety and frustration despite knowing that such treatment is wrong and inhumane. Treatment often results in high dropout rates for students with disabilities. It is difficult to understand why a teacher would treat a student, who is obviously willing to learn, this way. The Asch Conformity Experiment is a good example; making it easier to understand the behavior of a group of educators. In the experiment, a participant believes that he has been asked to be part of the group that will be given a vision test. The experiment begins with the instructor at the front of the room showing the subjects the corresponding lines of a group of three segments. Other participants begin to give answers that the test subject can see are wrong but when it is his turn to provide an answer, the participant gives the wrong answer along with the rest of the panel. He or she is conforming to the rest of the group (Cherry K. 2012). Participants did not want to be ridiculed by selecting and responding differently than their peers had chosen. This is called normative compliance (Asch Conformity Experiment, 2012). Teachers don't want to be rejected by their peers and seen as the only person who didn't accept what was happening. For example, while working with a student who was struggling academically, a sibling of the student saw one of his special education teachers in the community.
