    Even from an early age, Rodriguez is a successful student. Everyone is extremely proud of Rodriguez for earning awards and graduating to each subsequent level of his education. But all his success was not necessarily positive. In fact, we see that his education experience is a fairly negative one. One negative that Rodriguez endures is his solitude. Education compels him to distance himself from his family and heritage. According to Richard Hoggart, a British education theorist, this is a very natural process for a scholarship boy. Hoggart explains that the ?home and classroom are at cultural extremes,? (46). There is especially an opposition in Rodriguez?s home because his parents are poorly educated Mexicans. His home is filled with Spanish vernacular and English filled with many grammatical errors. Also, the home is filled with emotions and impetuosity, whereas the classroom lacks emotion and the teachers accentuate rational thinking and reflectiveness.

  • Client Transfer Case Study

    If I had a man call me, and tell me that he was interested in transferring to me, I would keep the phone conversation relatively short, but would encourage him to set up an appointment with me. The reason I would have him come in, is simply because I prefer face-to-face interaction over phone interaction. When he would come in, I would sit down with him and discuss all of the potential risks and benefits of transferring his services. I would discuss with him why he feels as though his other therapist is not effective and what can be done to help in this situation. I would encourage him to have a conversation with his current therapist about how he was feeling about the progress and relationship that they had. Standard 3.06 (b) of the NASW Code of Ethics says that “if a new client has been served by another agency or colleague, social workers should discuss with the client
