| But, if some of the schools were too big and some too small it sounds like he didn't give his schools enough thought in the first place. He needs to own some of this. I would just let him mourn for a few days and say something like, "I am sorry you are feeling sad about this." Don't take any blame on yourself as it sounds like you really didn't do anything wrong except maybe not come together as parents with the same line. It sounds more like he chose the wrong schools then you led him on.
This is a particularly hard time for seniors. Just give him a hug and move on. Tell him to apply for a transfer in the fall. Most kids take solice in that and then end up very happy where they are at and don't bother. But, he may want to. You could support those app. fees. |
