I’m sure you’re trying to do right by the student, but if reference #2 above is what you’re citing to support your statement about GCs, I would urge you to look more closely at the methodology. The “GCs” used in that study were ‘solicited conference attendees’ asked to ‘voluntarily participate in the study for the chance to win one of six $100 gift cards’. The authors add (proudly?) that they restricted ‘analysis to the 152 participants who indicated they have had some school counseling experience at the high school’. I don’t know if this actually got published in a peer-reviewed journal but I sure hope not.

Reference #3 (the PNAS paper) is interesting and should be followed up, but restricted to a single school district. PNAS is a respected journal.

Reference #1 is marketing material.
