Early Adjustments
My eight-year-old son has attended private school but I have decided to send him to public school. My friends tell me there will be terrific adjustments for him to make and that he will need much guidance. Should / keep him in private school? * >

hi.

is difficult to give a point-blank answer to your question without knowing more about the situation than the question reveals.
Is the public 'school to which you plan to send your son a good one? Is your boy normal in intelligence and in social adjustment? If your answer to these questions is in. the affirmative, you are wise in planning to send your son to the public school. If the school in question is very undesirable and if your son already is somewhat maladjusted, it may be wise to keep him where he now is.
Of course, there will be difficult adjustments to make as your son goes to h'hcw school. But, after all, isn’t success its life largely dependent upon one’s ability to adjust himself to all sorts and. conditions of people? Isn’t it far better that your son iearn to make-this adjustment now, while he is at borne and under your sympathetic guidance, than at a later date? We can do too good a job of protecting our children, from the realities of life.
Do not "be too disturbed if during the first days of school he appears to J>e somewhat dissatisfied. He may even" plead to be sent back .to the private school. Be sympathetic and understanding, but donVyield to his plea. It, at the close of the year, he still is unhappy, assure hint that you then will! consider whether or not to return him to the private school. £ " .
