I ed Chase‘s teacher one evening and said, ―My son keeps telling me that the thing you‘re sending home is Maths — but I‘m not sure whether I should believe him. Help, please.‖ She ed right back and said, ―No problem! I can help Chase after school anytime.‖ And I said, ―No, not him. Me. He gets it. Help me.‖ And that‘s why I stayed with Chase‘s Maths teacher. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like Maths and reading are not the most important things that are learned in a classroom. We also talked about something else — kindness and bravery. And then she told me this. Every Friday afternoon Chase‘s teacher asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down the names of four children with whom they‘d like to sit the following week. She also asks the students to nominate (推薦 ) one student who they think is the most popular student that week. They needn‘t write down their names on the paper. After the students go home, she takes out those pieces of paper, and studies them. In fact, Chase‘s teacher is not looking for a new seating chart (表 ) or ―popular students‖. She is looking for lonely (孤獨 的 ) children. She‘s looking for the ones who are unwilling to talk with others. She is finding out whose gifts (天賦 ) are not noticed by their classmates. Then she gets to know who needs help. After watching Columbine the wise woman knew that all violence (暴力 ) es from loneliness. So she decided to start fighting violence early and often, and what she is doing is SAVING LIVES. And she finds the lonely kids from those lists and tries to help them. It‘s Maths to her. All is love — even Maths. 47. Why does Chase‘s teacher ask her students to write down some names on paper? A. Because she wants to find the lonely children. B.
