Beware: Your child's reputation may affect how their teacher sees him/her
Think teachers always rise above a student's reputation and treat them the same as other children? Think again.
A new study shows that teachers are affected by a student's reputation, as well as by their actions. And if a child is seen as poorly behaved by others, that reputation affects the perception of their teacher, regardless of action.
There are two kids of behavioral issues at stake: physical action, such as punching or kicking, and repeated refusal to follow verbal direction.
But what is most likely to cause a poor reputation among school staff is the perception that there is a larger issue at stake, such as problems at home. And once concerns about a child's behavior begin to circulate, it's hard for school staff to view the child as separate from those issues.
