You must let him do what he will-whether it be to go or to stay. The best we can be is ourselves. Do you understand?) "Both my children find their school life very unhappy. We have a chance to exchange our house for one in another suburb. Do you think it right to uproot them? The boy is in standard three and the girl standard oneR.G." (Have you inveetigated the reasons?
