Perceived Roles...

When I think of the term guidance counselor I think back to the days of my youth. When I was in school, you went to the guidance counselor if you had a problem. They were there to help you sort out your feelings, deal with a conflict between you and a friend, or guide you in personal matters like hygiene. I think my outlook is dated due to the ever changing times. Today, when I think of a guidance counselor I think of CRCT or High school graduation test coordinators. You could possibly add to that description a college advocate to encourage students in continuing their education beyond high school.
