Gatekeeping in an Era of More Open Gates: High School Counselors' Views of Their Influence on Students' College Plans.

Rosenbaum, James E.; And Others

American Journal of Education, v104 n4 p257-79 Aug 1996

Interviews with 27 counselors in 8 high schools demonstrate that counselors do not like to give students bad news about their college prospects and do not believe that they have the authority to do so. Counselors' unwillingness to act as gatekeepers may prevent students from getting the information they need. (SLD)
