...they have of young people.....

[duiter]

Hi,

Is this sentence correct ?

Fortunately schools, with the unrealistic expectations that they have of young people, provide early training in the art of lying

Why does the author write have of young people ?

Does '' of '' have grammatical meaning ?
If so, what is it ?


Many thanks

Of depends on expectations. The sentence contains a defining relative clause.
