On pages 235-236, Jeannette has a discussion with her guidance counselor. How does the advice she is given contrast with how a guidance counselor should act? What obstacles does she put in the way of Jeannette's dreams?

Her guidance councilor only tells Jeannette negative information. The counselor merely talks about how expensive a New York school would be. The councilor only seed Jeannette as poor and does not help her explore how to achieve her goals.
