Intelligence and Belief?

There was a study done by having teachers at the beginning of a school year being falsely told that their A students were F students and that their F students were A students. Do you know what? The F students all became A students because of the beliefs and the way the teachers treated them and generally the A students all became frustrated and became F students.

What does this tell you about beliefs put into children by their teachers?

So, from this I would say intelligence is innate in all children and basically equal in a general setting.

So, depending upon how children are treated in school during their educational process you might see various different outcomes depending upon teachers, environments etc.

So, if you are raising children right now this should give you pause for thought and is why I raised my older kids by Home schooling them with Oak Meadow school on independent study for about 5 years until the oldest was 12:
