School Counseling memoirs

There are just so many fun stories, that I feel obligated to record a few of them for you (of course, though, the names and the places where these stories originated have been kept confidential...).  And, of course I will need to be hired and working with students first...  Until then I'll leave you with a little self-contradiction or enigma:

When it gets to be the end of the school year and we are about to leave for summer-break, we feel excited to have three months (Ok, two, maybe two and one half months...) away from our job and away from working with students.  Yet, we also, simultaneously feel bad about leaving--just never so bad that we end-up forgoing our vacation and stay at school.  Why is that?  One, it's the student's vacation too and we would never want to deprive them of their precious vacation, and two, part of our job includes a summer break, just like it includes all of the holidays throughout the year...  It's as much our vacation as it is the students!  But really, Marco, it isn't ours as much as the students because we wouldn't even have a job without them...  We wouldn't work in a school, where the whole school takes a vacation, without the students.  So get over yourself!

And what about year-round-schoool?  If that's your answer or your question, then write your own blog!  Go ahead, start it and write that as one of your first posts, because that's just silly!
