[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry that some of you have had such negative experiences with your kids’ high school counselor. As a high school counselor with over 300 students, who consistently spends my weekends and evenings writing college recommendations and responding to emails (and yes I have my own family too), I find this thread extremely upsetting. No matter what a high school counselor does, it’s never enough. [/quote]

I was one of the PP's with a kid who had a poor counseling experience.

However, two of my other kids had an AMAZING counselor!  One just like you who worked tirelessly for a very large number of students.  She was very helpful and made time for our kid, which I was honestly shocked by given the number of students assigned to her.  She had a lot on her plate and did it with competence and grace. We were so appreciative and told her so.

The reason you're not hearing about counselors like you on this thread is that the OP specifically asked if anyone else had a similar experience.  My response was specific to that request. I hope I'm joined by others who are immensely grateful for the good ones.  Having been through both experiences, it takes a lot of stress off to know your child's counselor is supporting them in navigating a complex process.  Thank you for what you do. [/quote]
