I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

This could be a great example of the “mental fenze” cognitive model. We remove things without understanding why were there in the first place

Case in point, I had a student once who had a note on file to watch for seizures. Me and other teachers/staff were puzzled as this student didn’t have this worry of seizures the years before — turns out the children’s home they were housed at took them OFF the anti-seizure medication they were on, noting that the student didn’t need the medicine anymore as they were not showing signs of seizures. WTF?!
