The staff gives us rewards and compliments when we do well. That tells you that you can be successful. Teachers support us. They acknowledge your grades and stuff. Others don t look at what you ve done.
Expectations are lower for some students.
They do not have high expectations for the special education students. They ve decided about you. We have a math teacher here who has very high or very low expectations depending on the individual student, which is embarrassing to them. She told one student that she would not get in the Honor Society, that the teachers didn t think she would. She not only got into the Honor Society but she is an officer, and she s angry about this teacher making a decision about her.
