SCHOOL COUNSELORS & COUNSELORS' OFFICE

OUTLINE

  • More of them need to be hired.
  • They are needed to help out with college choice, student performance, peer presure, trouble at home, etc....

PARAGRAPH

The School Counselor has a very important role in the life of any student. They help them with college choice, student performance and troubles at home to name a few. We need to hire lots more of them because of growing school sizes.

This job is just as vital as all jobs in a school district and even this job needs a low student per school counselor ratio. A low ratio improves student performance and school counselor performance that is 100% important.

I am going to help them out in my plan since I do want one high school class that 100% talks about college admissions. That will allow to school counselors to spend more time on other things like student performance.
