GC is basically the equivalent of an HR rep in an office. They’re a bunch of TOBY’s

I’m a psych nurse practitioner and I have never allowed my kids to see the school counselor. The entire public school system is invasive and can’t be trusted in my opinion.

As a counselor, I think there’s a lot of misinformation in the comments. There are no “transcripts”, I don’t take notes. Maybe jot down something like a name of another student to pull but never, EVER

Chantel | Chaos Coordinator :
The schools only care about protecting themselves…. NOT the kids. My advice, get a private therapist and stop school counseling ASAP.

Morgan :
As a school counselor, I am an advocate for the child and NOT the school. I will ALWAYS put the child first. These comments make me so sad 😭

he's a minor they have no right to withhold those transcripts

I’m not sure how they can keep those from you? He’s a minor and you are his parent. That seems not legal….I don’t know the rules but that’s very odd

I’m in AZ and was very involved in the politics of schools/school boards. Believe all of us who have gone before you that your son is not protected by the school or counselor. No GC sessions alone

Nope. They tow the company line. They will try to find discrepancies on his story and feelings and use them against you.

I have worked in the schools systems and my daughter has seen them many times. I have not met one that is not ALL for the students.

This group is drawing rank around each other and you and your complaints are on the outside.

Can you put him in with private counseling instead of school guidance counselor? That way it would not be bias.

Amy Corby :
Devil’s advocate for 5 seconds- I saw my school’s guidance counselor and she reported EVERYTHING I said back to my parents which made me not trust her or therapists. So as long as his sessions aren’t

Mrs. Carter :
My son saw a GC in middle school and she used what he said against him and told other staff what he said. He hated that school so we moved schools. We did do a private counselor and there were 6

Remember you also had trust in teachers to do the right thing and she certainly didn’t have your child’s best interests in mind. I’m so sad about this for you and your children!!

I'm sorry, but when you get in the nitty gritty with the school you will see none of them are going to act as adults. I recommend only if you sit in or get one outside the district.

They work for the school. Don’t trust a single person that is on the payroll.

Former elementary school counselor here. Most don’t take formal notes or make statements to the school. And they can’t release them due to confidentiality laws.

It really depends on your counselor. A really good one will truly help him feel safe and heard.

Former elementary school counselor. Breaks my heart. Please know so many of us advocate/support for the CHILD not the school. That’s all I did and all of my colleagues did.
