perceived roles

I think I know what a guidance counselor's role is, but it seems that their new role is to make more work for me. I have two really good friends that are my co-workers, I won't mention their names because they are going through N.T.I with us(Trent/Cabrera). These two great teachers, some how do not have the pleasure of having a homeroom. I on the other hand, have a freshman homeroom. This year my homeroom has 28 freshmen, 20 of these 28 sweet little children are girls. Yes, 20 girls. I have learned that at our school, it is the homeroom teacher's job to make schedules, not the grade level counselor's. I also have the job of teaching all the guidance lesson, making sure they do their Gacollege411, and all the real homeroom teacher stuff. You know, stuff like handing out every piece paper that has to go home and get signed. Then having to get all of the papers back(signed of course), and turn them in by a certain date. I am so looking forward learning what a guidance counselor's role is this semester, because I'm not sure.
