<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">I am a first year counselor and I am debating about moving my office next year. I am currently located in the Administration office. (Principal, Assistant Principal, and 2 secretaries) I am the
only Counselor at our high school. I have the option to move my office away from the Admin Office toward the classroom hallways, my door would lead directly into the hallways. Right now students can only access my office through the administration office.
I have thought about this all year but I have many pros and cons and can't decide if it would be beneficial or not. I would like to hear some of the pros and cons of being in the Administration Office compared to not being in the Office. The counselors office
used to be in the hallway office many years ago. I don't know why it was moved into the Admin Office. Thanks for any advice.
