None of the responsibilities and roles require knowing anything about Williams or Amherst. That’s a ridiculous expectation for any guidance counselor.



Middsmith, expecting a GUIDANCE counselor who collects a paycheck to know a minimum about the college landscape is not exactly the greatest of expectations. What good does it do for a GC to have guidance books in his or her office, if they simply gather dust? Should students not expect that the people who are supposed to GUIDE them know about the VARIOUS types of schools available to them?

This simply goes to a long history of accepting mediocrity and laziness from the people we are supposed to trust.

A GC who claims never having heard of Amherst or Williams and calls them “no-name” schools is an ignorant fool, and a disgrace to the profession.
