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 joined in this    41  

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and    42   . All the students were working    43    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    44    of stopping. I walked down the row and found    45    was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do. 

By this time the activity aroused my    46   , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on,    47    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    48  

After another ten minutes, the students were    49    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      __50    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(铲子) from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to    51   . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the    _52    of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and    53    your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.5u

Donna delivered the eulogy(悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to    54    the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is    55    by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in    56   . Amen!” 

She turned the students    57    and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the    58    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    59    and said, “I Can’t,” Donna   60    pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.
