Maxine Robinson is the kind of person kids can talk to

Maxine Robinson is a woman kids can go to if they have a problem. She is one of three guidance counselors at Wawasee High School. Mrs. Robinson said she decided to become a counselor because “so many kids need someone to talk to.” Another reason is because she likes people. “It’s contact with young people all the time under different circumstances. It’s never boring.” Mrs. Robinson, who has been a counselor at Wawasee for 10 years, said there are a great number of kids today with emotional problems. “Kids for the most part need someone to talk to, They often can’t talk to parents because they need to talk to someone who cares, but who won't be hurt.” Discussing problems with the students is the main part of her job. But, Mrs. Robinson said she also talks to the kids about their future plans and what they want out of life. She is also there if a student wants to discuss his or her courses at the school. Mrs. Robinson hasn’t always been a counselor. She first taught elementary and junior high music at Milford and then taught business, also at Milford. She started counseling and did so at Milford High School for about four years, before going to Wawasee. At Wawasee, she is in charge of counseling onethird of the freshman class and all of the junior class. There are two other counselors besides herself at the high school. Society Too Permissive Mrs. Robinson blames most of the student s emotional problems today on society. She said it has become too permissive and not enough discipline is used. "In order to achieve, you have to discipline yourself. You have to be disciplined as a child to be able to discipline yourself when you get older.” She said she is finding a lot of children today who don’t know how to discipline themselves and so they don’t get the most out of their education or out of life.

The counselor emphasized that the discipline has to come at an early age or it won’t be effective later on. “At this age (16), not a lot can do with them.” She said she will just sit down with the student and point out all the pros and cons with his problem. She said she has found some success with this type of reasoning. Mrs. Robinson also said that there are many changes in the system today. She said that the home and the church is not as effective as it used to be, mainly because of outside influences. “The outside influence is very strong.” She added that she can’t see any change in this in the near future. Some of the lack of discipline she blames on the parents. She said being a parent is a 24 hour job. She said, “raising children is probably the most difficult job a parent will ever have.” She added that being a parent doesn’t stop when the child reaches the age of 16. Some of society’s permissiveness, the counselor blames on advertising. She said everything is geared to acting and looking young. “There is no place left for maturity. All things come with maturity, like peace of mind.” She added that with maturity, a person can still be young. “I don’t want to get old in my mind,” she said Maxine Robinson, who will be 46 tomorrow (Thursday), lives on Tippecanoe Lake. She was bom in Milford and has lived in the area her entire life. She has one daughter, Joanne, who is. 23 and lives in Leesburg. She also loves outdoor sports and sewing. Mrs. Robinson said she feels the programs offered at Wawasee are excellent. “We have an excellent high school. There is always a place for improvement, but when I look at other schools and compare course offerings, we have an excellent high school.” She concluded by saying, “if a student wants a good quality high school training at Wawasee, it’s here.”
