Blog 6: Secondary Source 2

Algozzine, Bob, Cecil D. Merger, and Terry Countermine. "The Effects Of Labels And Behavior On Teacher Expectations." Exceptional Children 44.2 (1977): 131-132. Academic Search Complete. Web. 22 Oct. 2015. http://eds.a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.uky.edu/ehost/detail/detail?vid=5&sid=e27565dd-495a-4b58-8e91-8a3e555b193a%40sessionmgr4005&hid=4205&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#AN=20878378&db=a9h

 This article is about the effects of labels given to people and how their behaviors may be. In this case, it is about special education students. The article says that when special education students are given negative labels, that student's expectations may decrease because how the label is put on them. It also states test that have been performed with this situation. Along with the negative labels, behaviors have been becoming disturbing to their expectations which leads to believe the labels affect a person. This source is useful to my project because it brings in the negative labels. Even though the labels were put on special education students, they were still affected by them and it can happen to any group. For instance, Joliet gets these negative labels which can affect the people that live in the city and ultimately affect how they react or move on from the labels, they can either accept them or move on from them. This source provides a test of how the students took the labels they were given.
