Hi Iris,

I can't remember the name of the first researcher who did   a study on 
low/high teacher expectations and their self-fulling prophecy, but I do remember the 
study.   The resaercher got his data by lying to the teacher about the 
ability of her students.   (Maybe more than one teacher, I can't remember now.)

When I read that I kind of stopped cold.   Toally unethical, of course.

It was the idea of lying to the teacher that I found so shocking.   What can 
I say;   I was very young.

Andrea.
