The worst of times

Abstract

Discusses the effect that the death of a pupil can have on the school community and reports that schools can help children to deal with their grief. Asserts that the reaction of the school is determined by a variety of factors: the age and personality of the child; the nature of the death. Describes the experiences and reactions of one school where children were encouraged to talk about what had happened. Reports that it is the school′s role to help children examine and cope with their feelings, and outlines how this may be achieved.
