Hi my name is Colleen and I’m school counselor at an urban high school in upstate New York. We are all virtual this year. All of our students are learning at home and trying to get in contact with all of them is difficult.

General Question!
According to the new Wage Rules, are companies giving Basic Salary as 50% of fixed Pay? Should we ask HR of our current company or the next company to actually do the same? Or the rule isn't a mandate and it's upon companies to follow it ?

Anybody know anything about Ubiquiti Inc.? How is it to work there? What does career progression look like? Thank you

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!

I’m in my 8th year as a school counselor and prior to that I am a retired Air Force veteran.

Does anyone know what else we are qualified to do with a K-12 School Counseling degree?

Are any other counselors getting pulled constantly for testing? I am in NC and my district is in person 2 days a week and remote 3 days a week with A on Mons and Tues, B Thurs and Frids, and group R fully remote. So when we test, we have 3 different groups 3 times the testing and not to mention the accommodations...

I would like to get rid of Perfect Attendance Awards and come up with something else to celebrate. Any ideas for high school students?

Does your school have a policy for addressing, identifying, and/or communicating about students who want to be called a different name and pronouns?

Seriously considering a move to NYC. Any counselors in the area? Wanting a bit of insight into the hiring process! I hear it’s very competitive, but I wanna get a feel for if that means “basically impossible” or “it might take a bit longer than you think.”

Background: It’s my 3rd year as an elementary school counselor and I’d like to stick with elementary or middle. I have friends and family in NYC and Long Island and I’m looking for a change of scenery (and a pay increase, tbh).

Hi all... my name is Jill. I am a guidance counselor at Syosset High School located in Long Island NY. (9-12). We are a highly competitive school district with college admissions being paramount.

Anyone here work with College Board? SAT School Day ordering in particular?

Anyone a member of the American School Counselor Association? Are you going to attend the Jily conference?

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

Does anyone have a MS lesson on kindness and acceptance of students with special needs?
