of the parents, In a study by Aron (2), manipulating the
variables of children's ethnicity, sex, and ability to as-
certain the nature of the interactive relationship between
teacher expectancies and student performance, results sug-
gest that low ability students are particularly victimized
by the ratings of high prejudiced teachers.
While researchers (8,1,26,39) indicate that teachers in
general hold attitudes toward minority children and their
values that tend to impede their classroom ability, grade
level and staff organization variables seem to increase or
moderate the degree of teacher's negative attitudes and the
level of new teacher adjustment.
Whitt (64) in a study measuring professional attitudes
of third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade teachers in inner-
city schools found that the subjects were low in professional
attitudes, and a negative correlation was found between the
age of the student and the teacher's professional fulfillment.
Levine (36) compared the attitudes of primary and inter-
mediate inner-city student teachers to determine if the grade
level taught had any significant effect on the attitudes of
teachers toward inner-city schools. He found significant
differences in the attitudes of primary and intermediate
student teachers. Student teaching in the primary grades is
likely to create more favorable attitudes toward teaching in
inner-city schools than student teaching in intermediate grades.
