Role Distance of Classroom Teachers of Slow Learners
Khleif, Bud B.
Journal of Research and Development in Education, 9, 4, 69-73, Sum 76

Hostile attitudes toward slow learners may be a result of this expectation, rather than indication of personality, with role distance being a particular adjustment made by untrained teachers of slow learners.
