Question

Raj is one of your more challenging students, and you have had multiple contacts with his caregivers. They are defensive of Raj and critical of your methods. One day, Raj argues with another student, and the student hits Raj. Raj punches the other child in the arm, causing a bruise. When you call his caregivers to ask them to come in for a conference, the adult on the phone agrees to come in, but

says, "I've always told Raj that if someone hits him, he'd better give back as good as he got." Given what you've read in this chapter, which of the following statements is most likely to be true?
A. Raj's caregivers will likely come to the conference with a plan in mind to help Raj overcome his impulsive tendencies.
B. Raj's caregivers would probably have had a very different attitude if you had invested more time in building a relationship with them.
C. Raj and his caregivers likely have a stormy relationship that is characterized by frequent physical abuse.
D. Raj may very well have a sense of hopelessness and anger about school because it's so different than his home life, and his achievement may suffer.

Answer 1

D. Raj may very well have a sense of hopelessness and anger about school because it's so different than his home life, and his achievement may suffer.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the reading and the response of Raj's caregivers on the telephonic conversation, they seem to not have a problem with Raj's attitude in school and always come up with a defending argument for Raj.

This clearly means that the attitudes that are acceptable at home are not acceptable in school which might lead Raj to become hopeless due to the difference of environment in both the places.
