Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of
movement, a great number of people – often rather frightening looking people – and realizes that an
increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school
the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will
rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of
adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group
advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of
pupils.
