1.    The amount a student can learn is primarily related to family background.
2.    If students aren’t disciplined at home‚ they aren’t likely to accept any discipline.
3.    When I really try‚ I can get through to most difficult students.
4.    A teacher is very limited in what he/she can achieve because a student’s home environment is a large influence on his/her achievement.
5.    If parents would do more for their children‚ I could do more.
6.    If a student did not remember information I gave in a previous lesson‚ I would know how to increase his/her retention in the next lesson.
7.    If a student in my class becomes disruptive and noisy‚ I feel assured that I know some techniques to redirect him/her quickly.
8.    If one of my students couldn’t do a class assignment‚ I would be able to accurately assess whether the assignment was at the correct level of difficulty.
9.    If I really try hard‚ I can get through to even the most difficult or unmotivated students.
10.When it comes right down to it‚ a teacher really can’t do much because most of a student’s motivation and performance depends on his or her home environment.
