Question

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this  16 .

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and  17 . All the students were working  18  a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no  19  of stopping. I walked down the row and found  20  was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do. ks5u

By this time the activity aroused my  21 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on  22  I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …… I felt it best not to  23 .

After another ten minutes, the students were  24  to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna  25  hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door.  Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to  26 . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the  27  of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and  28  your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.

Donna delivered the eulogy （悼词）. “Friends, we gathered here today to  29  the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is  30  by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in  31 . Amen!”

She turned the students  32  and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the  33  of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student  34  and said, “I Can’t,” Donna  35  pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.
