[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These schools all cost a fortune, and the parents are the ones who work hard to pay for the tuition that pays these counselors' salaries. Most of the top schools around here tout all of the colleges their graduates get into as a way to promote the school and increase applicants. Which means the college counselors they hire should know what they are doing and advise kids from a place of knowledge and experience. This is the guidance counselor's job, and they had to expect if they work at one of these privates that [b]job security comes with results befitting the tuition they are charging[/b].[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Uh-huh. And [b]the queen bee at Sidwell who touted this philosophy got fired last year, not in small part because everyone resented her anti-parent attitude[/b]. They get the parents involved when they want money or want the parents to make their kids fall in line. All that passage is really is a disclaimer that if the kid misses an application deadline or doesn't sign up for the SAT when they are supposed to, then it's not the kids fault.

Guess Sidwell's counselor wasn't getting enough kids into Ivies.

You couldn't play me enough to take that job. Top schools are accepting between 5-10% of applicants, and your job is on the line if you can't get kids into these schools, even if the kids' scholastic achievements don't merit admission.[/quote]
