Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise,we accept these failures as a 1 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers,we don"t 2 our children to have this same right. When I see a child 3 from this kind of pressure,I think of Donnie. Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 5 answered questions-he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 6 . But nothing changed until midterm,when Mary Anne,a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty,and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included,all 7 her very much. One morning,we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had copied the problems with pains taking tidiness and filled answers in the first row. 8 with his progress, I 9 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned,Donnie was in 10 . He"d missed the third problem. My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 11 . From the desk we shared,she got a container filled with pencils. "Look,Donnie," she said,kneeling beside him and gently 12 the tear-stained (弄脏的) face from his arms."I"ve got something to 13 you. " She removed the pencils,one at a time, and placed them on his desk. "See these 14 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers(橡皮) are 15 ? That"s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That"s what you 16 learn to do,too. " She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said. "I"ll leave one of these pencils on 17 desk so you"ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers. " Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile. The 19 became Donnie"s prized possession. That,together with Mary Anne"s frequent encouragement,gradually 20 him that it"s all right to make mistakes as long as you erase them and try again. | |||||||||||||||||||||
