3/24–What are you achieving?
!
I read recently about a speech by columnist William Raspberry who told the story of a Chicago teacher with a class full of incorrigible sixth-graders.
She was so sure of their mental deficiency that she sneaked a peek in the principal’s files at their IQ scores.
And she was shocked to see stellar scores in the 120 and 130 range. The worst kid in the class had a 145.
She changed her whole approach. She gave the class challenging assignments, piled on the homework and cracked down on misbehavior.
At the end of the year, when the principal congratulated her on the students’ success, she confessed to looking at the files. And the principal informed her that she hadn’t seen IQ scores. She saw locker numbers.
The power of expectations.
Let’s pay each other the high compliment of great expectations.
With the power of the Holy Spirit and a word of encouragement–the potential in us is unlimited.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
