<p>For D1, we did have a 1:1 with the GC, but it certainly wasn’t this time of year, when her focus was still on the college process for seniors. I think it was in June of junior year, just after graduation- and maybe 20 minutes. She had already met with D1 that spring, to understand her interests. The reason we met alone was to understand a bit about why she had suggested certain colleges, get her impressions of chances. D1 knew her college major and it was important we not spin our wheels. </p>
<p>Each hs has its own strengths and weaknesses in terms of how much you can work with the GC. Imo, if you feel the need to meet, you have to work around their priorities. Agree that there’s a difference between parents who are engaged versus those who try to pilot. </p>
