Margaret's teacher, Ms. Jones, is from an upper-middle class white family and is not fully aware of the culture of Margaret, who is from a working class African American family. Ms. Jones likes Margaret very much but has misinterpreted Margaret's language patterns as an indicator of lack of intelligence. Because she likes Margaret and wants her to do well and not be discouraged, she has assigned her to a remedial reading group. By the end of the school year, Margaret's reading ability actually declines to the level of the students in her reading group. This is an example of:

c. a self-fulfilling prophecy.
d. cultural capital.
