Children

Practitioners

Themes Authority, privacy, and identity Dialogue "Am I going to get in trouble?" "I have a yellow apple." "I am sad." "This is my teacher.. rawr." "I am bored." "Is my teacher gone." "Come see my work." "Is home time yet?" "The infant room is where we go when we cry." "Look at my scared pumpkin." "I was a bad boy today, I am red." "We don't go outside." "Under the table." "The computer..no one in the world can see us here." Summary *They participated and sat longer than the practitioners *They were scared to answer, seemed sad, and bored * They don't have choice *Teacher is seen as a monster (BOSS) * Have minimal experience outside *Computer is their only privacy *If emotions are portrayed (crying) then they are forced to go to the infant room

Themes Authority Dialogue "I don't have time for this." "The apple chart works great if they are bad, they are rotten apples...haha." "Yes the infant room is where they go when they are bad .. they are being babies." "We don't go outside. I know we are supposed to, but there is no time and it is to cold for us." "This is the best place they can get." "Their favourite place is the gym, room 1." "They made those faces because they got in trouble that day." "There is no area for privacy, we need to see where they are at all time." Summary * The dialogue is quick and short *They feel frustrated and don't want to be apart of the research *Their decision only * Center is great and they are doing the best *Going outside is not a priority *No privacy *Infant room is a punishment
