About Mr. Crisis

I'm a teacher. I teach. But I in no way match your mental picture that inevitably pops up when you hear, "I'm a teacher." Perhaps you see this in your mind. This teacher teaches math and grammar and all that other crap.

   
No, I am a poorly-dressed, balding man who teaches emotions and behaviors. I'm a hybrid of a zen monk and The Punisher.

Further, I teach emotional awareness to students who are diagnosed with an emotional disturbance/disability. In our shop language, I teach "toward the disability." As I like to say, I teach against the grain.

My only superhuman powers are super hearing and super patience (both still developing).
