Truly valuing a student

Today, was a very interesting day at school. Somehow, our ethics discussion went into discussing whether students were innately stupid. One boy was being quite vehement with how there are stupid students, and I was strongly pushing back on that. I said "There are students who have been conditioned to be stupid, but that does not mean they are innately stupid." And I do seriously believe that, and indeed I think all teachers must believe that. If we did not believe that we can connect with students and get them to be the best possible version of themselves, then why go into the profession?
