communicating with schools, maybe

I can relate to this parent and EducationCEO with the post it's official: some people really don't know what they're doing.

The communication between school and parents is so strange and the fact that some child can just be ignored was a huge surprise to me when my child entered school.  At a big inner-city high school, only 200 kids take the PSAT and it never fills up.

There is a lot of to-do about teachers, hiring and firing, but the schools have about 1/25 the counselors they need to truly help facilitate and support kids, if that is what they honestly intend to do.  I know as a parent who homeschooled high school, counseling and supporting seemed to be the major input on my part.
