Tim mentioned this morning that kids with eating disorders can get help from school counselors. We need to stop telling parents this because I learned first hand , that is soooo NOT true. There are no real counselors in schools, at least not in the GISD. I tried to get help for my daughter in high school and there is none. Counselors in high school do nothing but help kids pick classes. And the only kids that get to talk with counselors about anything else are those with behavior problems (trouble makers). So if your kid has good grades and no record the schools won't be bothered with them. Very, very sad state of our schools in the GISD.
