Words matter. Everything that is—a nd isn’t—communicated to and about students has serious implications f or their success. The offhand remark to a student or parent about the comm unity in which she lives\; the way groups—based on race\, “culture\, ” and income—are discussed in faculty meetings about test scores and d ata\; the assumptions and communication breakdowns between counselors and teachers that cause kids to fall needlessly through the cracks\; or the de flating comment to a young person about his college prospects: all these w ords have tremendous power. They are\, in fact\, actions that undermine ef forts to maximize the potential and talent of all students\, every day.
