Mobility and School Functioning in the Early Grades.
Nelson, Perry S.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v89 n6 p365-69 Jul-Aug 1996
The relationship between initial school functioning and subsequent mobility was examined among 2,524 low-income elementary students. Data were collected on academic, behavioral, and school adjustment. The students were then trailed for three years; during this time mobility was observed. Most mobile students had poorer initial school behavior and adjustment and tended to be from single-parent families. (Author/SM)
