A Study of the Placement and the Adjustment of Puerto Rican Pupils in a Junior High School
Abstract
Each year the New York City school system welcomes the arrival of new teen-age students who, although American citizens, have been born and, in some cases, spent their entire lives in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Their backgrounds may be as varied as the small city or village of their birth, and school records, if any, just as diverse and inadequate. Because of these conditions, educators have tried to facilitate the placing of these students in their proper classes and to orientate them to the school program. The main purpose of this procedure has been the maximum growth and relatively happy adjustment of these pupils to a new and quite different environment.
