Family Council - Emily The school mistreats our boy. Arlhur They can't afford to admit error. Emily Our boy, 8, has a phy sical handicap and I think they have done a very poor job in school in dealing with him. They have blown hot and cold, at first refusing to grant him any privileges, such as skipping gym; and then, after. I had strongly complained, over-doing their concern and making him feel he was bein treated as cripple. I do not see whv it should be impossible to get the teachers to treat our boy with some consid eration, but without making him too conspicuous in front of the other children. There has been a lack of tack, and it has fallen to my lot to discuss this with the school principal and the teach ers. One teacher in particular has been the cause of most of the difficulty, and she seems to re sent bitterly my having talked to her about it. Instead of im- proving her attitude, she has made additional difficulties, and I have had to complain to the principal, who has until now been noncommittal, always prom ising to "look into" the matter. The other day, when our boy was denied the privilege of tak ing an Important test that he had missed on account of his health condition, I asked my husband to talk to the principal because I felt she had grown to resent and dislike me. When he did so, she agreed to give the boy another chance to take the test, but she went Into a har angue against me. She said that I was unnecessarily aggressive and that I had antagonized the teachers, and that she would pre fer It In the future if I stayed out of the school and let my hus band come Instead. I feel I should do something about this, but my husband insists I must do as the principal says. Arthur I think the principal knows my wife is right, but feels she has been pressed too hard. She dare not admit that the teacher is wrong because she would then have to discipline her, and probably lacks the power. The important thing is to get results for our boy, and as long as I am able to do that, I am willing to run the arrands. The Council: Arthur would be making a serious blunder to re main silent in the fact of the principal's sharp criticism of his wife. Silence may be taken for agreement. If the principal was unwise enough to talk this way to the husband about his wife, she may also be foolish enough to misrepresent the hus band's attitude in conversations with teachers and other parents. It Is important that the hus band demonstrate his faith in his wife. It is understandable, In view of the feeling already generated, that he should not want his wife to encounter the principal at this stage. But he should at least write the prin cipal a letter expressing sharp exception to her comment about his wife. It la extremely wrong for an educator to try to prejudice a husband against his wife, but if she Is guilty of such poor judg ment, she Is not likely to realize I BEWARE or IMITATIONS LOOK fOK THE HAPPY UTTLC COG TOPS IN QUALITY!
