Ellen Granz lied to her teacher about why she hadn’t done her homework, but, of course , many students have lied to their teachers. The 31   is that Ellen Glanz was a 28-year–old high school teacher who was a student for six months to 32  her teaching by gaining a fresh perspective (视角)of her school.

She found many classes 33  , students doing as little as necessary to pass tests. She concluded that many students have little power and 34   for their own education.

Ellen Glanz found herself doing the 35  things. There was the day when Glanz wanted to join her friend’s party to 36   the purchase of a new house, but she had 37   for a math class. For the first time , she knew how students feel when they think something is mor e  38  than homework.

She found a way out and told the 39   , “I considered my choices: admit 40  to the teacher, copy someone else’s sheet, or make up an excuse .’’She chose the 41  one —— the one most widely 42  ——and told the teacher that the 43   needed to complete the homework had been ripped (撕掉) from her book. The teacher accepted the story, never 44   her book. In fact, nobody else did the homework .

“Finally,”Glanz said, “the teacher , thinking that the homework must have been difficult, 45   each question at the blackboard while students copied the 46  at their seats. The teacher had 47  the material and the students had listened to the explanation. But had anything been 48  ? I don’t think so .” Glanz found these things were 49  in many classes . Students simply didn’t do the homework, but copied from someone else or  50  the teacher into doing the work for them.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.

Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)perched on the tree near their window.

The father asked his son, “What is this? ”

The son replied, “ It is a crow.”

After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?”

The son said, “Father, I have just now told you It’s a crow’. ”

After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ”

“It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly.

A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”

This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”

A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:

“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ”
