Chapter 4: Creating a Culture of Success

On page 64, a student named Mahogany says, “If a teacher doesn’t think you’re smart, they won’t call on you. They’ll pay you very little attention.” This is something that I have unfortunately seen in a classroom.

I hate teachers that are like this. These teachers either hate kids or have lost the will to care anymore. A teacher needs to pay attention to all students because maybe that one "dumb" kid has the potential to be a great student but is just falling through the cracks.
