Document Summary
Individual differences in the extent of transitional problems. Not all students experience the same degree of stress. Students who have more academic and psychosocial problems before making a school transition have more problems with coping with it. Poor, inner-city adolescents may be particularly at risk for the negative effects of school transitions. Often already coping with problems associated with economic stress and neighborhood disadvantage. Among black and latino students, transitioning to a school where there are fewer students from the same ethnic background than at their previous school is associated with: Pro: designing schools/ define lessons better to meet ability. Con: people tend to receive lower quality education if put in remedial classes. Gifted students - score 130 or higher on iq test. Actual academic performance less than expected from iq tests, no emotional explanation for discrepancy. Approximately 1 in 5 school-aged children (more common among boys than girls)
