[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we just stop with the threads that drag tour guides. Students are allowed to have a bad day. They sign up for tour duty and then life sometimes happens in the meantime.

Show some grace. Maybe we can just cut this thread?[/quote]

I appreciate the feedback of the tours.[/quote]
Then I guess you can't put yourselves in the shoes of a kid giving a tour. Or a parent of a tour guide who watches these threads fill with comments tearing them apart. [/quote]

New poster: but it can be a major part of a kid’s view of a school. Those views are based on valid personal experiences and are also allowed to be posted here. We ran into some teens at a school in the large auditorium before the tours began. 2 of whom we spoke to afterwards all had different guides.

1. Us: great guide, improved our impression of the school greatly.

2. Guide was flat, told few stories, and acted as if reading a script. That lack of enthusiasm transferred to the kid we knew in the tour.

3. Guide was an apparent introvert and said did not join a lot of things on campus but talked about study locations.

Before the tours began, all three teens were going to apply. After, only mine did. Tours are very important to impressions!

PS - we were recently traveling and signed up for a local tour for a school my kid had not even considered. Tour guide was an intl student and amazing. When the tour finished my kid said it is the number one sch right now.[/quote]
