High School Counselor Uses Unconventional Method to Reach Troubled Teens. In a bid to connect with her students, Krystalyn Musselman, a counselor at Tecumseh Public Schools, has devised an innovative approach to addressing the concerns of troubled high schoolers. Her method involves a worn cardboard box, which serves as an anonymous question box, allowing students to submit their queries without fear of judgment. Through this unique tool, Musselman aims to create a safe space for students to open up about their struggles, from bullying and mental health issues to academic pressures and personal crises. By providing a confidential outlet for her students' concerns, Musselman hopes to make a meaningful impact on their lives and foster a more supportive school community.
