From the Paper:

"Available literature concerning education, teaching and the many different methods of learning in schools is as abundant as it is varied. Every expert seems to have an opinion that is different from every other expert, or if it agrees with someone else, then they have a slightly different take on the current educational circumstances in the United States.
"With all the buzz surrounding the improvements in the way education is viewed, one area has gone through a complete metamorphosis. That area is the field of school counseling."
