[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No, it’s actually not. Lol. Counselors at SLHS are not required to tell counselors at Carson what to do.[/quote]

[b]One of the most important jobs of a counselor in high school is to ensure that kids are prepared for post-graduation.  For those who want to go to competitive colleges, the counselor's job is to ensure that the kids are prepared for that.  
This absolutely falls on South Lakes High School counselors and administration to ensure that their future students are prepared.[/b]

When DD was in middle school, the career counselor from her high school came and talked to the kids and the parents about the importance of course selection to prepare for high school and college.  
Even so, with all this discussion about "equity,"  don't you think that FCPS has a responsibility to inform ALL students and parents?

It is not that hard to put out a single issue message to parents and students:  "If you are going to South Lakes and think you might want to pursue the IB diploma in high school, you need to sign up for Japanese, French, or Spanish in eighth grade."

You missed my point entirely. Reading comprehension, my friend. I’ll repeat. Counselors at SLHS aren’t responsible for counselors at Carson. That’s not part of their job description.[/quote]
