Expectation

Just wondering about teachers' expectations for the future of their students. Do you see future caring professional people, the working class that will struggle on food stamps or do you see future prisoners? Perhaps you see a mix. Your expectations effect what they will become? Perhaps it will have no effect. We can not know with certainty if our expectations will be self-fulfilling. I think we should project a positive future for our youth.

Mike's step-son is now in jail. He wants him there and he wants him to be a career criminal. Mike has him mentally tracked in that direction. He even disclosed that he hoped the Jared would be sodomized. There is no law prohibiting having low expectations for someone, even if they are your student, child, or step-child. However, I am certain that there are ethical and hopefully religious grounds for condemning someone that does this.

"Annually, as many as 125,000 people with mental illnesses requiring immediate treatment are arrested and booked into Florida Jails" Did someone or some institution track them into that situtation?
