The school counselor is one of my good friends and I had a wonderful but heartbreaking conversation with her at the end of the day about how guidance in public schools ends up despite what it wishes it could and should be. You are SO correct to point out that it is not a priority and it should be because of the great benefits of it. :(Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492749097146998056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879758161266355501.post-23610790923587091852012-10-08T21:16:31.516-04:002012-10-08T21:16:31.516-04:00Thanks so much for this affirming comment!

It is so nice to have a chance to spend nonacademic time with students. Some kiddos are like totally different human beings when they are transplanted outside of the school environment. This was such a positive post and I am glad I found your blog.polkadotparkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09713928627671715014noreply@blogger.com
