Many teachers are great, but others are a bit...off. A teacher kissed me on the cheek when I was sad. I knew it was out of love, but it was EXTREMELY infantilizing. There's also TERRIBLE communication among staff. I understand that there are about 1,000 students; the school's not terribly small, but there are much larger public schools that manage themselves more efficiently. Stop acting like you're a picturesque, award-winning, Ivy League padder, and address the problems among the staff. Stop the bad eggs from becoming narcissists. If anything, you will make your school's academic performance even better.

Rant warning (Has to be long bc ppl on this thread are SO LUDICROUS): No stankova sh*t here...just an average gc. The best of them are still stupid...whaddaya expect?! Counseling isn't even a real degree. The programs are so goddamn easy that even the people who are f*cked up enough to need intensive counseling end up as counselors. He's not even a f*cking therapist; he's a guidance counselor. That requires about the most sh*tty excuse for a degree you can imagine. The girl's story is low-key sad, but kid, you aren't that smart if you trust a friggin' GUIDANCE COUNSELOR with your important life decisions. Maybe they can give you some stats on college admissions from your high school...that's about all they're useful for. That "listen to trusted adults" crap is just to make sure little kids tell their parents and teachers about the pedophile from the van who tried to coerce 'em with blowpops n' blowjobs. You're an older teenager or an adult by now. You need to take charge of your own ish't. Don't pay any mind to what some busted, crusted, disgusted counselor thinks. I'm barely smarter than your average motherf*cker, and I manage to get my crap together. Why can't a supposedly bright kid like you do it too? And for those of you kissing up to him, you are the most scummy, perverted motherf*ckers on the internet. No, I don't care how stupid some kids are being--they don't deserve violence or r*pe threats, you SOCIOPATHS. Not to mention, you kids are acting in love with a FIFTY-something man. WTF! Does he give you hard-ons? Just because daddy wasn't there to take you to the fair doesn't mean you get to f*ck dads! Clean up your act and find some girl to bang...some girl who's cool with it and is YOUR AGE. Bottom line, Englerth's not the "best guidance counselor in New York," but he's not a toxic bs artist either. People were finally shutting up about him--why did they return to this terrible thread?

Sorry that this is so long. I have to be really precise about what I am implying (and am not implying) because trolls on this site are looking for any reason to verbally abuse anyone. This story is in response to the stereotyping prompt. I knew a kid who was ridiculously book-smart--literally Stanford-level talent at science and writing. Talented, creative musician too. She happened to be stuck in a rough family situation. It had always made school more difficult, but in the past, she had always persevered through, even in all her accelerated--and double accelerated--classes. Her home situation started to get even more out of hand, and the kid had the courage to confide in Mr. Englerth about what was going on. He listened to her concerns earnestly and tried to help her as best as he could. Good on him, really. :) Unfortunately, he simultaneously began to treat her like a broken kid. I think he assumed she couldn't have the executive functioning others her age could. (Mind you, that couldn't be further from the truth.) Many times, he told her it wasn't "reasonable" for her to take as many AP's or even honors classes as she wanted. She ended up listening to him and dropped the hard classes. Worst of all, she started to genuinely believe she was just some troubled kid, unable to achieve what the others did; even though she knew she was smart, she felt she was too much of a basket case to show it. Even in her required classes, she started underperforming and missing a ton of school. Since fourth grade, her dream school was Harvard. (She probably was smart enough not to tell Mr. Englerth because she didn't want to be considered even crazier for holding herself to "even more unrealistic expectations.") Fast forward to her senior year, and she was hard-pressed to get into a run-of-the-mill state school. She was sad of what had become but still maintained this harmful mentality. It's tragic. By the way, I used to go to Mendon, and I had Mr. Englerth as my counselor. I have a soft spot for the man. He's a good guy who genuinely wants to help his kids. NONE of this is intended to bash him. Without a doubt, he was just trying to make school easier on this girl and protect her from difficult situations. Unfortunately, he failed to realize she was such a strong person that all she needed was a reminder of her own strengths. She needed to be encouraged--not told to play it safe to avoid more tough stuff in her life. I don't know what ended up happening to her. [Insert name], if you see this, as always, I hope your family is doing better. Secondly, please know that your path to success has not been closed; it has just been interrupted. (Plus, whether you are at a community college or Yale, the school is unbelievably lucky to have a mind like yours.) If you believe in yourself like you once did, you will accomplish awesome things for the world! I think you know who this is. If you ever need to talk, just search my name in Instagram, and DM me. And Mr. Englerth, thanks for being a loving man. Just please be more conscientious about the value of your advice. After all, guidance is literally in your job title. Your words have more weight than you may realize.

Hi, commenter. I am not striving for a particular school. I am simply using NYU as an example of a prestigious college—not saying it is en par with the Ivies or that it is my dream school. By the way, good for you, getting a college education at a pretty reputable school. But heck, maybe I will get into NYU; I’m taking a gap year to save for college in addition to volunteering as a crisis counselor, so I have not submitted a college application yet. I am just trying to share a personal experience, an honest experience that may inform Mr. Englerth and others who have him. Have a good day!

Get ready for this weak fragile underachiever to start singing praises about NYU. Well it's a good school like most at universities this kid is treating it like the holy Grail. I can just see him at the mixer now. So did you go to Oxford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, Brown, University of Chicago, northwestern? No. I went to NYU. You know the State University where 30% of the kids admitted are done so purely based on race. It's a state school that falls under New York's awesome affirmative action policies. No merit needed. Just be a resident of the state and any race but white or Asian

Nyu is a state university. If you are struggling to get in there then you are going to need a whole lot more than a few AP courses. All the while I thought this kid was trying to get into a top notch University like Stanford or the ivy League. Nope. Just trying to get into a good old state university. How sad is that
