[Counselors] Counselor Office

Fri Mar 6 10:20:32 CST 2015

I moved my office away from the administration office at the beginning of
this school year and thought it allowed for a lot more privacy for my
students. But since I cover administrative duties in the absence of the
principal the administration wanted me back in their office so I have moved
back and does not allow for privacy for my students.  At my age group most
of them aren't concerned so I still have students come to me.  If I were
given the choice I would move out of the administration office.
