A Mind Set Full of Change ...

I believe the ideology that anyone who works hard enough can achieve the American Dream, because of the term meritocracy - an elite group of people whose progress is based on ability and talent rather than on class privilege or wealth. But in the case of the experiment dealing with A Class Divided. No, it's not true and the reason for this is because of the mind set that is taken upon by these third graders. Due to the fact they where labeled the superior group they take on the mind set of higher expectations where expected out of them, resulting in higher scores. Thus, illustrating that it's all about the mind set. In my opinion though it's all about your top priorities and drive of the individual and not the stereotype of a certain group from critics.
