Students learn from people they love
I teach underpriviledged kids programming for the last 5 years and this rings very true to me. It&#x27;s more important to teach them self efficacy and to believe in them than to teach them C++.<p>I think this is also true more generally than just for students. I&#x27;ve given a keynote presentation about it at a conference this year if anyone finds that interesting: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Lckris5U5iw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Lckris5U5iw</a>
