Okay so today what we're going to talk about is how we grow as people into the expectations that are around us.

And this came from a conversation that I actually had with someone a friend of mine who taught school in Thailand and what she was saying was that the Thailand no matter what age they are they have different rankings from the smartest kids of the classes they teach to put all the smartest kids together then they have the

they goes down from the smartest all the way to the dumbest and what she said was that the kids who are the quote unquote dumbest that's dumbest or stupidest that's the only words they can really use for this because that's what they use over in Thailand.

Those were always by the time that they were an 8th 10th 9th 11th grade they were always the routiest the hardest to get a hold of.

And what I was talking about is how I read an article once by NPR and listen to a podcast on NPR that talked about how teachers expectations will dictate how successful those children are going to be they're going to it will dictate their results.

So in that case over in Thailand if that's what they do then if someone at the age of let's say 7, 8, 9 years old is thought of as a smart kid then they will be treated as a smart kid and they will in turn grow much faster and become much smarter over that time if someone is treated as a dumb kid for 9, 10 years they will then be quote unquote dumb or dumber than the other kids that were seen as smart.

And main reason why is because of the teachers expectations and there was actually a study that was done on this and what was happening was they were curious in the study what would happen if you told teachers that certain students in their class.

That some of the students were destined for greatness that they could tell when a huge a student was about to have a huge IQ boost and what they did was they had these teachers give out a standard IQ test but the difference was on the front the front cover of the test it said Harvard test of inflected acquisition and what they said they said this test had the ability to predict which children were about to have which one were special but also which ones were about.

They were about to get a dramatic spike in their abilities and their IQs and this was just a BS test it wasn't able to actually it wasn't from Harvard in the first place but it wasn't able to predict anything but what happened was they had all of these kids take this test and they had their teachers give it out and then they chose children at random and they said to the teachers this class that we're going to give you just random selection is what it actually was but what they told the teachers was these children that we're going to give you this class that you're going to have they are

destined to bloom and they are destined to have a huge ability a huge spike in ability and a huge spike in their IQ as well and what they found out and they recorded all of this that over two years of teaching that the teachers expectations for the children affected the kids ability and what happened was they put those into once again randomly chosen children into one class

and what they found out was that no matter who the kid was this random chosen one was that the teachers taught so much more had so much more patience and how much so much more belief and drive for these kids that those children the random ones completely random had the biggest IQ spike out of any of all of the classes and all of the kids that they had in those two years.

So what happened was the children weren't different the teachers were different and they found that the reason why is because their expectations affected the moment to moment interaction with their students now why did this happen well let's give an example say Billy some kid is believed to be stupid and the teacher asked they say hey Billy you know what's the answer to this question and Billy can't get it right away and he takes a long pause before he actually answers well then before they actually would give him a chance
