In the News: Changing the Troublemaker Narrative: Bene Webster, HDP'18
Making Caring Common intern Bene Webster proudly describes herself as a former “nut” — a quality that she always found helpful when dealing with some of the behavior problems in her third-grade classroom in New Orleans. “I found that giving my students more freedom and autonomy, not less, resolved a lot of what others perceived to be behavior problems. It is easy to forget that kids are human beings, and at the end of the day they want to be free and able to be themselves just as much as the rest of us.”
