Read the following statements :
Assertion (A) : Students with poor writing abilities are often stereotyped by their teachers as 'intellectually disabled'.
Reason (R) : Teachers tend to have implicit bias and hold assumptions about students' learning behaviours that can affect students' growth.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Students who write poorly are sometimes wrongly assumed to be intellectually disabled, although writing difficulty can come from many causes, such as dysgraphia, a lack of practice or a different home language. The Assertion describes this real practice.
The Reason explains why it happens: teachers, like everyone, can hold implicit biases and assumptions about how students learn, and these lead them to stereotype a student on one weak skill. Because the bias is the cause of the stereotyping, R explains A, which rules out the option saying it does not, and the options calling either statement false.
