Counselors in the Homerooms

by Jerry Lati

How do counselors open up to classrooms?

How do counselors open up to the classroom? They just write things that they are going to say on a script. But sometimes they just have some questions that just pop up in their head. Maybe if a student says something or asks a question they will answer that. Each grade does something different. They make sure we are all learning the same thing in each grade. How do you open up to a counselor? You can go to any counselor and open up to them. They will try to let you calm down, they worry about your safety and they will try to cheer you up when you most need it. You can just go to their offices and just tell them what you feel but that's only if they are not busy.
