Reblogged from Diane Ravitch's blog:
A reader responds to this post about the middle school in the Bronx:
In Vallejo, we did away with our counselors in 2005. Since then we have seen our graduate rate rapidly decline, increase in violence on our secondary campuses, and other issues as well. The teachers’ union have been advocating for a return of our counselors ever since because we have seen the profound negative impact it has had on our kids. It has yet to happen.
Do school counselors make a difference? You bet they do.
