Why Does Calvin Have This Pattern?
Basically, Calvin doesn't know how to self-regulate because he has no good role models in his life, at home his parent doesn't help him complete homework but then demand to know why he's not doing good. At school, he is punished for not being the "typical learner" by his teacher and bullied by his peers.
