I really liked when Cushman made the point of stating that "But if a teacher keeps believing in their value and their ability, kids are willing to try and try again."
(63) I completely agree with the statement that she is making here. If a student does not think that their teacher belives that they can succeed academically, the student will not be able to convince themselves that they can succeed. The guidance from their teacher, and the confidence that the teacher gives their students allows each student to have condidence in themselves to succeed. If there is a student that is struggling, and the teacher is not telling them what they need to do to go about improving this area, the student is going to feel lost. Along with that, if a student asks the teacher for guidance, and the teacher is not willing, the student will most likely give up.
