<p>I find the notion of a parent volunteer working in the college guidance center just horrifying. I would object if it went on at our high school. Or I would simply have my child bypass that particular “resource.” The defense of this sort of arrangement is always that the parent just wants to help because of budget cuts, etc. Ridiculous! Mom needs to go home and work on her resume and get a real job. She is way, way, way too involved in her kids’ world.</p>
