<p>Speaking of “counselors” I also found out that Ohio law does not mandate counselors in the public schools. So some schools have them and others, to save money, just have “visiting” counselors a few times a year to help with college apps and so forth. Sounds crazy.</p>
<p>Getting back to little kids and their neighborhoods–I find it beyond unfair and frankly appalling that some kids have to navigate gangs and drug dealers on their walk to school. People in the neighborhood know where the bad corners are–you’d think a few well-placed police cars would fix the problem. If it means fewer police available for traffic stops, well so be it.</p>
