[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like there should be an agreement in place:

For kids who sign it, they agree to school counselors steering, and potentially benefiting from the steering.

For kids refusing it, counselors should leave them alone.  And kids take whatever consequences.

Right now it’s involuntary.  They come steering no matter you like it or not.  [/quote]

Isn't that currently the unspoken agreement?  You are not required to go with the counselor's recommendation, right?  You can still decide to go ahead and apply to your preferred school, right?  In what school do the parents/kids not have the ultimate say in where to apply early?[/quote]

No.

The steering starts when they get the list of ed applicants, mid October.  When a school has 20 applicants ED but historically sending two, they talk to every one in that list!  Some are counseled to apply up.  Some down.  Some to comparable schools.  Yes you can say no.

Having an agreement in place ensures that you are not even subject to the initial conversation.  Leave.me.alone![/quote]
