I should say "not all people with high executive function."

Like, for example, I work with this woman who I highly respect. She's got great politics and is a kind, warm person. She creates these brilliant grids and rubrics and resources that are beautiful and stress the importance of equity and inclusion and differentiated learning and all that important stuff.

And I look at that and my eyes glaze over. I just find it so overwhelming that I could never use these resources. Do I believe it works for her and her students? Absolutely! Would it work for me? Nope! She has a basic understanding of why this is frustrating and overwhelming for most people (though I would say I'm on the low end of executive functioning for a teacher) but I don't think she quite gets it. It's hard to teach things that come easy for you—I would struggle to teach someone to read, for example, as it was just something that I passively absorbed at a young age rather than had to learn myself. So I appreciate her as a colleague but I'd probably go on stress leave if she were my boss. But I also believe she uses her powers for good (as do you).
