“If young children are frequently exposed to books containing images of people who do not look like them, or resources in the home corner which do not reflect their culture (cooking utensils, dressing-up clothes.... food), then they will come to believe that their attributes are of little value - this will have a negative impact on their racial identity.

“Underachievement A term that simply means doing poorly on purpose - consciously or unconsciously. Many parents want to know how to get a child who is repeating a class to "ACCEPT" defeat. Well, those kids are already DEFEATED. ...consciously or unconsciously. And they have accepted the defeat consciously or unconsciously. So, next session when they begin to fail again and claim it's because they repeated that they lost their zeal, Be sure the zeal wasn't there BEFORE. So parents, stop majoring in the MINOR. AND start WORKING on "getting" them ZEAL.”
