    I agree thiis is discouraging. It appears to me that schools
    are trying to save money and the school counselor jobs are on
    the decline. I would say one thing a social worker lacks is
    knowing how schools run. Teachers in my area appreciate a
    school counselor who was previously a teacher and understands
    what it's like to run a classroom with 25 children who all
    have different needs. The social workers I have seen are
    competent, but do not understand the challenges in the
    education system. I hope this is helpful. I,too, am
    concerned about the future of the school counselor.
