[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^is that really true.  I hear a lot about turnover and staffing issues and unexperienced teachers teaching advanced courses that are not in their background at all.

Also, the crowding effects so many different aspects of the school, from hallways to lunch room to sports and activities to [b]attention from counselors and help during college application time[/b].

I get trying to make the best of a rotten situation, but some people are really in denial.  And, many of the people that I know that were happy have kids that have already graduated from college--or there now.  The clogged pipe that is rumbling is about to burst in the next few years.  The real problems haven't arrived yet.  Take a look at the coming years.  Next year's entering class is just the tip of the very large iceberg set to emerge.[/quote]

Don’t expect ANY help. The counselors are beyond awful even now. I can’t imagine how bad it will be in a few years.

Public school counselors are not hand-holders in the college process. If you aren't going to get educated so you can provide direction or have a go-getter kid, you should look into private counseling.[/quote]
