To send them to the counselor is to acknowledge that a single person isn't always capable of handling everything. It's not giving up on a student if the teacher truly wants to help them out. So if the resource is there, you might as well use it.
The issue of pride can slip in here. "I can handle it" which is dangerous (well not really) in teaching.
No its not. Not necessarily. If you can deal with a problematic kid, do it. If you can't, then learn. They might respect the guidance counselor, but when they return to class, the relationship with the teacher is still there and the problem hasn't been solved.
