DS is 10 and a bit of a live wire. He's very easily led and can be quite disruptive. He makes friends with all the wrong people and the group of friends he has are well known for being the trouble causers of year 5. Last friday, he was beaten up by a group of them on the way home from school "for a laugh". Monday morning - they greeted him as if nothing had happened, they don't see it as abnormal behaviour. They're just mini-hooligans.
Anyway I have decided to move DS to another school. It's the feeder school of his chosen secondary school (at his current school NOBODY is going to the same secondary so he'd start alone) and one of the best primary schools in the city (recently branded "outstanding" by osted.
I've just been to take him around and meet the head (who was lovely). The school was lovely, the children looked lovely, one class was sat there silently on laptops, another class was singing a song in french with the teacher on guitar, in another class a year 5 boy was giving his class a powerpoint presentation - it's a briliant school.
So why do I feel so sad?? 
I don't know if its because deep down, I know my son will probably take his problems with him. I worry he won't make friends with "nice kids", I worry the "Nice kids" will see him as a trouble causer and stay away from him, I worry that I'm disrupting him dragging him away from a school he's known since he was 4 ....
he starts after christmas. Am I doing the right thing? He seemed to really like the school and I asked him what he would pick if it was totally his choice and picked the new school. Why am I worrying so much??
I feel so guilty.
