Answer 1

Very unprofessional of this school counselor to do this! Report him/her to the school board on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday), and do not take no as answer! This person deserves to be FIRED! Immediately! They have no right whatsoever to do that at all. Kids these days are very smart, and all of the kids there are not going to want to come forward should they have a problem in the future, for fear of it being blabbed about to everyone else. If you don't go and take care of this, then you must be nuts.
