“The children should feel good at school! Sometimes there are little issues here and there. Then there are disputes among students, stress at home, or with teachers. I ensure that the involved parties feel better and that the school day is remembered positively. I don’t let any child leave my office with slumped shoulders!”, says Pamela Wirsing.
