He didn't know any better...

​During a prank, a student stuck a paper on his classmate's back that said "𝗜'𝗺 stupid", and asked the rest of the class not to tell the boy.

Thus the students began laughing.

Came afternoon math class started, their teacher wrote a difficult question on the board.

No one was able to answer it except the boy with the sticker on his back.

Surrounded by the unexplained giggles, he walked toward the board and solved the problem.

The teacher asked the class to clap for him and remove the paper on his back.

She told him: "It seems that you did not know about the paper your classmate has pasted on your back."

Then the teacher looked at the rest of the class and said:

Throughout Life, people will put labels on you with many nasty words to stop your progress.

Had your classmate known about the paper, he would not have gotten up to answer the question.

I love this story. It is true labels prevent us from achieving our potential. When my daughter was four, she was identified with a label by her teacher. When I was called to the school and asked to get her assessed, I told myself, my baby just needs more love and care compared to other children. I refused to accept the label. Instead, I decided I would prove them wrong. I developed my own loving methods for teaching my child, and she thrived. Looking back, I can see that if I had accepted the label she was given she would probably not have completed her Masters in Linguistics.
