Take every student out of a paste in thirty seconds
Lesson 2 of 6 · Student data and the line you cannot cross
1 · Learn the move · Template pattern
You will not do this if it takes five minutes, so it has to take thirty seconds. The template: students become letters (Student A, Student B), families become 'the family of Student A', adults other than you become their role (the counselor, the case manager, the co-teacher), the school becomes 'my school', and anything with digits that points at one person (student number, date of birth, phone, address) becomes a bracket that says what it was. Keep the facts the task turns on: grade band, subject, the pattern, what you tried. Then read it once, start to finish, looking for the thing that slipped through: a nickname in a quoted sentence, a sibling's name, the bus route. The read is the step people skip. No student goes in by name, and that includes the sentence you pasted from the email.
Here is a paste about a classroom situation: [paste]. Rewrite it with every student taken out. Students become Student A, Student B in order of appearance; families become 'the family of Student A'; adults other than me become their role; the school becomes 'my school'; any number that points at one person becomes a bracket naming what it was, like [student number] or [date of birth]. Keep every fact the task turns on. Then list each replacement you made, one per line, and name anything you were unsure about. Do not tell me the result is safe; tell me what you changed.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
A fourth-grade teacher at Larkspur Elementary has a behavior incident to write up and wants a draft. The email from the family quotes the child's nickname, names an older sibling at the middle school, and mentions the bus route. The teacher's first instinct is to delete the first and last name and paste. She runs the template instead: Student A, the family of Student A, the sibling becomes 'an older sibling at the middle school', the bus route becomes [bus route], the nickname inside the quoted sentence becomes Student A. The read-through catches the counselor's name in the last line.
