“But in any case, I did poorly on the tests and so, in the first three years of school, I had teachers who thought I was stupid and when people think you're stupid, they have low expectations for you.” PeopleThinkingYearsFirstsSchoolThreeCasesTeacherStupidLowsExpectationsTestsThree YearsYou Re StupidLow ExpectationsI Was Stupid Author:Robert Sternberg
“It is then, we say, in the successive stages of his experience, that the believer sees more distinctly, and adores more profoundly, and grasps more firmly, the finished righteousness of Christ. And what is the school in which he learns his nothingness, his poverty, his utter destitution? The school of deep and sanctified affliction. In no other school is it learned, and under no other teacher but God. Here his high thoughts are brought low, and the Lord alone is exalted.” SchoolChristLordPovertyTeacherStageLowsFinishedBelieverRighteousnessNothingnessAdoreAfflictionExalted Author:Octavius Winslow
“People go to mediums and they get in touch with spirits outside of the body.

“During my eleven years as a New York City public school teacher, I saw firsthand the impact that poverty has on the classroom. In low-income neighborhoods like Sunset Park, where I taught, students as young as five years old enter school affected by the stresses often created by poverty: domestic violence, drug abuse, gang activity.” YearsSchoolYoungCitiesPovertyFiveSawsTeacherViolenceNew YorkStudentsTaughtDrugActivityLowsAbuseStressImpactIncomeParksFive YearsSunsetNeighborhoodAffectedNew York CityClassroomDomestic ViolenceGangPublic SchoolElevenFive Year OldsSchool TeachersDrug AbuseLow Income Author:Sal Albanese
“A married guy is responsible for everything, no matter what. Women, thanks to their having been oppressed all these years, are blameless, free as birds, and all the dirt they do is the result of premenstrual syndrome or postmenstrual stress or menopause or emotional disempowerment by their fathers or low expectations by their teachers or latent unspoken sexual harassment in the workplace, or some other airy excuse.

“The most successful teachers in low-income communities operate like successful leaders. They establish a vision of where their students will be performing at the end of the year that many believe to be unrealistic. They invest their students in working harder than they ever have to reach that vision, maximise their classroom time in a goal-oriented manner through purposeful planning and effective execution, reflect constantly on their progress to improve their performance over time, and do whatever it takes to overcome the many challenges they face.” YearsBelieveEndsFacesGoalCommunityChallengesLeaderVisionSuccessfulTeacherProgressStudentsLowsPerformancesOvercomingHarderPlanningIncomePerformingClassroomExecutionWhatever It TakesLow IncomeGoal OrientedSuccessful Leaders Author:Wendy Kopp

“In the current environment, attributing low student performance to teacher tenure is one of the great unproven causal links out there. The relationship just hasn't been examined very carefully, but we should all recognize that in higher education the strongest institutions generally have the most robust tenure systems, and in elementary and secondary, the states with the strongest teacher unions (and tenure systems) tend to have the highest student performance.” ShouldStatesEnvironmentTeacherStudentsHigherHighestLowsPerformancesInstitutionsUnionsCurrentsStrongestLinksRobustHigher EducationTenureTeachers Unions Author:Nicholas Lemann

“I had a hole in my voice. It's an area in the voice where it's air. It's just - there's no - it's just very airy. And my classical teachers were just so frustrated with me because I would have these deep, low notes that were really strong, and the higher register was strong, but right in that middle area, it was really hard. It was like a passage. And many singers go through this and work it out. But I realized in jazz, I could just take advantage of that and take advantage of having a voice that was very different in different areas.” DifferentHardStrongVoiceTeacherAirMiddleHigherLowsAdvantageAreasJazzNotesSingersI RealizedHolesWorking ItPassagesFrustratedRegisterAiry Author:Cecile McLorin Salvant
