"When an English teacher critiqued black male adolescents’ papers, she
added a sentence stating that she had high expectations and believed
that, if the student worked hard, he could meet her exacting standards.

more effort into rewriting, while just a third of their peers, who were
given comments that simply provided feedback, did the same."
