<p>I find the notion that my child’s very nice and well meaning GC has given us not one but two pieces bad information that would have made him far, far less competitive for the schools he wants to apply too rather horrifying. </p>
<p>Here’s the thing, I can’t blame her. Texas is a huge state and she is an expert on Texas colleges. Our district is rather poor, the majority of those that do go to college are first generation and so getting a middle class kid into an out of state college is not really something I think she should spend her time on.</p>
<p>So, instead of complaining (well, not instead of but in addition to), I’m planning on offering to volunteer this fall and hopefully continue doing that in the years to come. </p>

<p>Volunteering is a real job. When I need career advice, you’ll be the first one I’ll ask. Until then, no input needed or welcome.</p>
