A few weeks ago, I went into Chase's class for help. I e-mailed Chase's teacher one evening and said, "My son keeps telling me that the thing you're sending home is math -- but I'm not sure I believe him. Help, please." She e-mailed 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 math teacher. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like math 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(推荐) 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 or "popular students." She is looking for lonely children. She's looking for the ones who are unwilling to connect with others. She is discovering whose gifts are not noticed by their classmates. Then she gets to know who needs help.

After watching Columbine the wise woman realized that all violence(暴力) comes 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 through those lists and tries to help them. It's math to her. All is love – even math.

The stressful school life and unhealthy lifestyles cause some problems to students. Here are some key mistakes and some tips.

■ Sitting for a long time

So much homework and many computer games make students sit for several hours without standing or walking around. Because of long time sitting, some students have got diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease (疾病).

Tips: ·Get up and out of your chair for about five minutes every hour.

·Walk over to a person instead of sending e-mails or text messages.

■ Eating irregularly

Some students develop unhealthy eating habits. Fast food becomes more often. Heavy studying and stress keep students from eating meals regularly.

Tips: ·Eat breakfast with eggs at the start of every day.

·Never buy unhealthy food like fast food, sweets and candies.

·Have three meals a day at the right time.

■ Sleeping less

If some students don’t get enough sleep, the smooth cycle of our biological clock (生物钟) is broken. It can cause heart disease and high blood pressure (高血压).

Tips: ·Be sure to sleep for seven to eight hours every night.

·Have a rest for about 30 minutes at noon.
