Mario's change in grades due to lack of encouragement and low expectancy from his teacher is called teacher expectancy effect. This can occur when an educator judges a student by appearance rather than by ability. This is one way that the education system can discriminate against minority or lower class students, because these students often believe the impression that others have of them.
