I have many education-related articles and articles to help understand children's behaviour if you wish to read on.

Coercion isn't unique to ABA, but as I said previously, ABA is particularly harmful because it's an extremely well-funded industry which specifically targets parents of Autistic and disabled children.

However behaviourism is all too prevalent across North American culture (and other areas of the world as well).

Further, one would argue that if an educator cannot manage a classroom full of students without engaging in manipulative, punitive, and sometime traumatizing tactics, then they are not being put in a position to teach anyway.

One cannot teach a classroom full of dysregulated children. On a systemic level, we need to reduce class sizes so that teachers are able to actually teach without constantly having to control the behaviour of students (much of which is normal childhood behaviour being suppressed because it's inconvenient to the environment/context).
