Answer to Question 1

There is no clear-cut right or wrong answer to this question. Certainly children need to learn that some behaviors are acceptable and others will not be tolerated. However, although Sasha is being disobedient, her behavior doesn't cause physical or psychological harm to any of her peers, nor is it apt to seriously jeopardize her own cognitive development. By enticing rather than forcing Sasha to the Round Table, her teachers foster intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is more likely to sustain Sasha's interest in Round Table activities over the long run.

Answer to Question 2

Following are several hypotheses:
 She wants to feel self-determined.
 She perceives Round Table activities as unnecessarily interrupting her from other, more interesting and rewarding tasks.
 She gets overly anxious when circumstances are unpredictable. (Such is true for children with autism, but to a lesser extent it can also be true for some nondisabled children.)
 She feels uncomfortable working side by side with other children
