Invite to join school counseling group

[Anonymous]

Has anyone gotten an invite through ParentVue? Focused on friendship, making friends, collaboration. There's nothing in the email suggesting my child was selected, just an invite to join.

Just a way for counselors to justify not doing the rest of the parts of their job 🙄

The counselors are truly useless.

Never heard of it but sounds great.

Some kids need it.

They did this at my child’s private ES. Sometimes kids are invited to join a small group working on communication and interpersonal skills. They will often try to mix kids who are struggling in these areas with kids who are not struggling, to foster interpersonal skills.

What do you think a counselor's job is?

uh, what? What exactly does an elementary school counselor do if not precisely something like this? I get that in high school counselors are much more focused on scheduling, college admissions, etc. but this sounds great and what I wish there would be more offerings for these kinds of groups in schools.

I work at a large, title 1 ES and the 2 counselors we have are truly amazing. They do their jobs well. I would accept this offer!

ES counselors write glowing recommendations for...something. Right?

You should be excited they're offering a group. That's a proactive counselor who wants to support kids and teach them skills. It's not mandated but it's certainly something effective school counselors do.

Wait! That's not "woke" is it? 'Cause, you know, my kid can't do anything "woke" - like making friends.

I don't get the counselor hate. I teach ES and our counselor is amazing, not to mention runs herself ragged all day long with all her responsibilities.

The fact that all you think counselors do at any level is work in course schedule ls and recommendations proves how little you know about the job.
