I think:
the book Pygmalian in the Classroom was by  ? Rosenthal ?
was a study done in California in which the researchers
told the teachers some students were going to be
"late bloomers" or some such - that is they intervened
to change teachers' perceptions - randomly.
Rist article - again as I recall - was in the Harvard
Ed Review - and Rist did not intervene by telling
the teachers anything. Was I think in a predominately
African American classroom.  Pygmalian was in white
classroom I think.
