Gastrointestinal and respiratory crud: Hmm. . .Seems like this month I am seeing gobs of gastrointestinal and sore throat symptoms. Nausea, vomiting, coughing. . . It is testing out as Shigella (gut crud), and some type of Streptococcus (respiratory crud) in our neck of the woods (the United States). So, here’s what’s working for most people.
After the class was over the teacher called me back to her desk. She wanted to make sure I had done the reading test correctly (I had) and sat there in silence for a minute before asking, “How was it that she read 2 ½ times faster for you than she has ever read or me or anyone else?” I shrugged my shoulders. (I was thinking, “Because I didn’t label her as slow or stupid and allowed her to believe in herself?)
