On Thursday, I had lunch with a group of ninth graders (I do this with all ninth graders over the course of the fall), who told me that all they had been talking about over the last week was Holiday Ball. We laughed, talked all at once, and ate pizza – just what a group of ninth grade girls should be doing. The election didn't come up once and in that spirit, I want to focus this week on a topic that applies to all our students: stereotype threat.
