Intuition isn’t always right


I’m at bus stop now with bag of rice-krispie-bar makings for students’ birthdays—I’m going to make them during my break.

Lots of interesting/challenging and humbling experiences with the students since I last wrote a catch-up – – including realizing my attempts to help a kid manage OCD were wrong. I was following my intuition, but OCD is like a bug-bear in your brain, and I was unintentionally feeding it. 

It would certainly help if there were coordinated action plans for working with the students that were clearly communicated to everybody, but I go between five classrooms and guidance comes in bits and pieces from here and there, sometimes contradictory. Best help, honestly, comes from the internet. Including instructions for microwave production of Rice Krispie treats.
