Rewarding and Challenging Situations POST 1
The rewards would be seeing a student advance to college and the work force with a great career ahead of the student they also get a chance to make a difference in a students career and their life situations to make them a better person . The challenges what I see is trying to take time and see all the students. I just don't see that the counselor has the time to see 1000 students per counselor. It's impossible with cut backs everything else. They have a lot of different jobs to do promote classes, finance, family, student, teacher, administration and the list goes on.
I agree that the work load and the resources are out of balance. The kids today have more to deal with because so many are pulling the load of the parent as well as a student. As I am sure you have seen in the classroom it is a great reward to see a student have the light come on so it must be to the counselor as well.
