Reaching Higher: The Power of Expectations in Schooling

by Rhona S. Weinstein

Book Overview

She has a funny way of looking at you, a fourth-grader told Rhona Weinstein about his teacher. She gets that look and says 'I am very disappointed in you.' I hate it when she does that. It makes me feel like I'm stupid. Just crazy, stupid, dumb. Even young children know what adults think of them. All too often, they live down to expectations, as well as up to them. This book is about the context in which expectations play themselves out.
