One thing that was repeated over and over in this chapter was how big of an impact the opinion of a teacher can have on how well a student will or will not do in school. In every section, it seemed, someone mentioned how important it is for teachers to believe in their students.
What caught my attention here is how many students recognize when a teacher believes in them, and how big of an impact that makes on their motivation to do well. I always knew it was important for teachers to encourage students, to make them feel like they could do well, but I had no idea that it was so important. Based on what the authors said in this chapter, a teacher's attitude toward students can be the difference between exceling and failing.
