1 In primary schools, a child is in a comparative simple setting and most of the time forms
2 a relationship with one familiar teacher. On enter secondary school, a new world opens
3 up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be least
4 free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose the
5 free and easy ways of the primary school, so he senses the need for a more cautious
6 approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and
7 pupils suffers from the pressure of academic work and seem to have less time to stop
8 and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundred of children in a week, and a
9 pupil may be able to form relationships with very little of the staff. He has to decide
10 which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person
11 from the first year what person help is available – but weather the reality of life in the
12 institution actually encourages requests for help is other matter.
