Beziehungsaufbau ist extrem wichtig um das Selbstbewusstsein der SuS zu stärken, dafür bräuchte es mehr sozialpsychologische Untersützung.

She was well equipped to perform the tasks we gave her but often fell into modes of apathy or debating instructions when given tasks.

She always needed special attention to start working, which I think will be hard to give in everyday teaching situations.
