I am a police officer and more clock than non, I find myself dealing with school ages kids. Usually they range mingled with the ages of 13-18. Most of the time I feel like a advocate because when we deal with juveniles, the juvenile judicial system has tied our hands in what they will incarcerate a juvenile for, so we usually relent them a stern talking to and release them covering to the custody of their p arnts. I also work closely with the middle and high school administrators. sometimes we are in the schools dealing with problems or sometimes we take kids back to school that we find skipping class.This is why I chose to write this discussion gameboard entry on the ethics of school counselors. There are some(prenominal) ethical standards for school counselors, so I will only be touching on a few of them, while comparing them to biblical personations. The first I would like to hit on is the counselors responsibilities to their students. They are to continue their studen ts with respect at all time and continuously consider the students future when talking with them. Romans 1210 states, be given to one another in brotherly love, but give gustatory modality to one another in honor. I think this passage fits stark(a) here, because when a student goes to a counselor it is usually to talk near a problem they are having or advice on a contingent topic. This verse is saying to be devoted to the person as you compulsion the same devotion to you. Another ethical standard for school counselors is confidentiality. The administrators and counselors are not to discuss the students issues and school records with anyone unless a certain consent has been agreed on and signed. Proverbs 1222 states, assembly lips are an abomination of the lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. Taking this passage word for word to me basically means that the lord frowns upon the lips that lie and lying is also one of the Ten Commandments that should be remembere d when being trusted by another. One of the ethical standards is that counselors and administrators but inform parents and/or legal guardians if a student poses a danger to himself or another. The counselors are never to invalidate the risk of harm because some students will hide this in position to avoid any type of further scrutiny from other students, teachers or administrators. Corinthians 619-20 states, do you not know that your body is a synagogue of the holy spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify in your body. I dont think that many of these students who look to harm themselves or harm mortal else are thinking past the injury and into the bible and what they are very doing in the passe-partouts eyes. The next ethical standard by which the counselors are held to is professionalism. They are to treat everything that you do in a instruction that is looked at as professional to society.They are to seek the consent of parents forward conducting any research into a student or educational records, and treat every research opportunity with professionalism. Psalms 3422 says, The Lord redeems the life of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
