Through my advocacy work, I have found 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 place the burden of education on the student, causing students anxiety and frustration, even though they know such treatment is evil and inhumane. The treatment often results in high dropout rates among students with disabilities. It is difficult to understand why a teacher might treat a student, who is clearly willing to learn, in this way. The Asch compliance experiment is a good example; which makes it easier to understand the behavior of a group of educators. In the experiment, a participant thinks he has been asked to be part of a panel that will undergo a vision test. The experiment begins with the instructor standing at the front of the room and showing the subjects the lines corresponding to a group of three segments. The other participants start by giving answers that the test subject can see as being wrong, but when it is their turn to give an answer, the participant gives the wrong answer along with the rest of the panel. He or she conforms to the rest of the group (Cherry K. 2012). Participants did not want to be ridiculed for selecting and answering differently than those chosen by their peers. This is called normative conformity (Asch Conformity Experiment, 2012). Teachers don't want to be rejected by their peers and seen as the only ones not keeping up with what's going on. For example, while working with a student who was struggling academically, a sibling of the student saw one of the student's special education teachers in the community.
