In high-schools there are some students who require special attention by teachers because they are not good atgetting along with other people or they have difficulty in learning. We investigated the behavioral characteristicsof such students by sending a questionnaire to high-school teachers. The factorial analysis showed that their behaviorscan be classified into five types:(i)failure in achievement tests,(ii)impulsivity and inattention,(iii)difficultyin associating with others,(iv)depression, and(v)difficulty with the emotional control. In addition, thescore was higher for the group without diagnosis than the group with diagnosis. This result implies that studentswithout diagnosis have not been paid sufficient attention thus far and they have not been provided proper supports.
