They are really going to cut student centered positions, rather than bloat and duplication in Central Office. It’s egregious.

I’m a Counselor in a high school and they propose to cut all the jobs that support our students—pupil personnel workers (truancy, homeless students, etc), family engagement workers (immigrant family supports), social workers (mental health and crisis management), and college and career navigators .

I can’t pick up all those jobs. I already work very hard. We all do. If these cuts happen, I’ll do nothing but crisis management because the supports that keep students and families out of crisis will be gone.

The BOE meets tomorrow. Please call. Tell them to cut the fat and the bloat, not essential services.

Do you ever think about a piece of clothing that you loved at one time in your life and wish you had it back?

I’ve been a yo-yo dieter my whole life, going between a size 10 and size 14. So I’ve sent LOTS of clothes to the thrift store. There are some I want back! That gold dress! The Dizzy Lizzie tee shirt! I could go on.

Is it just me?

I have a friend who needs direction in his career path. He’s young, 27 years old, and isn’t sure how to figure out a career. He doesn’t have anyone in his life to guide him.

Have you had success with a career counselor? Who was it?
