Changed Impressions

My impression of a guidance counselor has not changed. Our students spend a great deal of time talking about what the counselor has not done. Our counselor does a great job. Our kids are afforded so many oppurtunities that there are too many to name. Their college acceptance letters line the walls. The students probably won't realize how importnat their counselor is until they are long gone. I was impressed with the history of the guidance counselor and where they evolved from. It's kind of hard to imagine school before counselors. That responsibility was on the teachers. Teachers had to serve dual roles. In this day and age, I don't know how many teachers would be willing to add the role of counselor to their plate.
