Summary:
As stated by Thomas Broderick, 2 main objections transferee students are currently
facing and that is academically and socially. He stated why transferee students are having a
hard time adjusting to a new school. The first one he said is about transferee students
adjusting to academics, how a student will have a hard time if the class is already in the
middle of working on a big project. The second one is about adjusting to that social culture
of that classroom or school, the student may feel isolated especially when the student
transferred at a late grade.
Note Taking:
Direct quotes
He/She might arrive in the middle of a big
project, such as a research paper or multi-
week science lab.
When a family moves far away, the
student must adjust to not only a new
school’s academic expectations but also
its culture. This change can lead to
feelings of alienation, social isolation, and
even depression.
My thoughts
The student will have a hard time
understanding how the project should be
done.
The student will have a problem in trying
to belong in a particular group because
he/she will not be able to relate to the
topics that others are talking about.
