"Confidential Concerns: A High School Counselor's Unconventional Approach to Reaching Students" In a bid to connect with students who often struggle to open up in traditional settings, Krystalyn Musselman has devised an innovative solution. The high school counselor at Tecumseh Public Schools has taken to using an anonymous question box, a worn cardboard container that has become a trusted confidant for students seeking guidance and support.
