A school does not succeed on grades alone. It succeeds when students are understood, supported, and guided.
This is why a guidance counselor matters.
A guidance counselor is not a discipline officer. Their role is not to punish, threaten, or control behavior. Discipline must start at home, where values, respect, and accountability are first learned. In school, guidance counselors serve a different and equally vital purpose: ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ช๐๐๐ฉ๐จ, ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ, ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ก๐๐จ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐๐จ.
Guidance counselors listen when students feel overwhelmed, confused, or lost. They also need training because their work is very comprehensive. They help students manage stress, anxiety, peer pressure, and personal crises that cannot be solved by detention or scolding. They guide students in decision-making, career planning, goal setting, and understanding themselves beyond grades and conduct records.
Guidance counselors act as a bridge between students, teachers, and parents, ensuring that concerns are addressed early before they develop into bigger problems. They remind students that asking for help is not weakness. It is awareness. It is responsibility.
A school without a functional guidance office is a place that reacts only when problems explode. A school with guidance is one that prevents harm, builds resilience, and shapes character.
Education is not just about producing achievers. It is about raising healthy and responsible human beings. And that work begins with guidance.
