The secret to successful pet dog training is to respect, understand and engage dogs as dogs and to motivate them to be happily and willingly compliant, rather than coercing and forcing them to
comply out of fear of mental anguish and physical pain.
If you threaten an individual with ADHD, they will likely be able to
comply out of fear, or the feeling of urgency, but they can't go on like that forever.
An evaluation study
of the district's equity fund highlighted several implementation challenges.65 Some PTAs simply did not
comply with the district's policy to give back some dollars, and the district had difficulty figuring
out how to exempt some PTA expenses fairly from redistribution.66 The evaluators did not examine how this policy affected PTA revenues, but there was significant pushback from members
of the community, with some parents threatening to reduce donations during initial policy negotiations.67 A group
of parents voiced that the approach was punitive, and that instead, parents should be encouraged to donate to a separate equity fund or to other, less affluent schools.68 Other districts that have considered establishing an equity fund have
feared similar pushback, worrying that rich parents will threaten to leave the district, disinvest in their schools, or decrease their overall contributions.69
