“Over the past five years, I’ve met several presidents, several secretaries of education… and there is no plan. If you want to save your children, you’re going to have to do it yourself. It’s just us.” - Geoffrey Canada
"It’s harder to be an educator than ever before, especially to be a school counselor. How do we teach learning strategies and the importance of life-long learning when so many people don’t value truth and don’t believe in science, choosing instead to create their own facts. How do we teach self-management when leaders, celebrities and other role models behave without restraint, and often face no consequences? How do we teach social skills when bullying is celebrated and most people communicate through keyboards instead of personal contact? How do we teach our children to get along with each other when the country is more divisive than ever, divided along racial lines, religious lines, gender lines, generational lines. I don’t know the answer to these questions, but I know school counselors work hard to address those questions every day. The country may be divided but school counselors are united in a common goal: SCHOOL COUNSELORS BUILD BETTER HUMANS!" ASCA Executive Director Richard Wong
