Did you go Public With Your Private Counselor?

I just want to speak up for public high school guidance counselors.

At our daughters’ high school, the GCs are definitely a value-add. Each student’s GC recommendation is put together based on the input of four or five teachers. So it is balanced and useful even if the GC did not know the student well.

We didn’t really need the GC’s advice in regard to schools, but I thought her suggestions were perfectly reasonable, and they were of course made based on knowing students from our town and their experience with various institutions.
