[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, like the fantastic chemistry teacher who suddenly became college counselor without having done course work in advising, or ever working as a college counselor.  [/quote]

She is a great asset for BASIS as a college counselor and I am happy to see her in that role.[/quote]

She's very smart and pleasant but not experienced or trained, no National Association of College Counselors certification in her background. Good luck to her and you.  [/quote]

I think you mean NACAC. Their $99 online, 50-hour training certification doesn't impress me as much as you.

She will be successful, as will the kids, for several reasons. First, BASIS already has a reputation / brand among college admissions counselors of producing very prepared high school graduates. Second, she knows the students deeply having taught most of them for 2-3 years.

The only downside of putting her in that role, was that it removed her from the classroom, where she was highly effective. But I'm not sure she was ever going to be a lifelong chemistry teacher regardless. I'm grateful she still has an important role and close relationship with my DC. [/quote]

What an odd transition.[/quote]
