Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents who transition between schools later in adolescence tend to have a more developed sense of identity and better coping skills, which can make the transition easier and more successful. Changing schools multiple times can be disruptive and challenging for students, so it is generally better to make the transition once, rather than twice. Having a prior record of academic difficulties or being unhappy in the previous school may actually make the transition more difficult.
