I don't need to read any further to be against this d--kweed. Since when did it become the job of our schools to provide mental health services?
Parents should be contacted and a suggestion should be made that they "MAY WANT, BUT AREN'T REQUIRED" to seek mental health care for their child. The schools should not be in the position of evaluation children on this level, period.
There is vast room for inappropriate actions when these services are provided in school, and I object as strenuously as I possible can to it.
Amen. Also, guidance counselors are just there to funnel kids for services.
Exactly. How do you justify your useless job if there are no "problems?" I had one in middle school trying to talk to my daughter and told her in no certain terms that she would cease immediately or face legal action.
