• Jay needs assistance in controlling his anger and getting along with other students.
• She does not understand what causes his outbursts although she suspects that he does this to avoid work.
• Mrs. Bird indicated that she is often "on-edge" around Jay because she fears that he could "go-off" any minute.
• When Jay misbehaves she becomes angry and usually responds with punitive actions such as referring him to the office.
