Lots of research has shown that people are influenced by others' expectations of them. Here's just one article: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB106815408551985600

Segregating kids into two distinct tracks that will last through high school and beyond (since it's so much easier to get into TJ from a center) based on test scores when a child is in 2nd grade is really harmful.[/quote]

Absolutely agree.  [b]Telling one group of kids that they don't have "potential" but the other group somehow does[/b], is one of the most damning things educators can do to kids.  ALL students have potential, for crying out loud.[/quote]

Please post a link to where this is stated to kids.  Thank you.[/quote]

"In order to meet their needs and develop to their potential, these learners require a differentiated curriculum."[/i]

Don't be dense.  Kids are not stupid.  This is "stated" to them every day.   :roll:
