Eye See You
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others．-- Jonathan Swift
I walked into a wild third-grade classroom．Music was playing _36_, children were under tables applying make-up, kids were throwing a football indoors, and students were _37_ wherever they could find _38_．I was a mid-year _39_．The previous _40_ said he could no longer manage these children and _41_ without notice during the holiday break．
As soon as I walked in the room, I realized why he _42_．I sat down _43_ in my chair and began reading their _44_ softly．After each name, I _45_, asking God to help me understand that child．I then nailed a _46_ to the wall next to the chalkboard and began _47_ my name and a reading assignment on the board．I then asked each child to come to me, and tell me their names and what they wanted to learn．It was a _48_ task, because only two children there wanted to learn something! Rules were _49_, boundaries established, parents contacted．But the mirror saved the day -- no, the year! Unbeknownst(不知的) to the children, the mirror allowed me to see their every _50_ while I was writing on the board．They soon became _51_ as to how I knew who was misbehaving while I was writing on the board．When one student finally asked me, I told him I had a special teacher’s eye in the back of my head that my hair _52_．At first they did not believe me．_53_ they did begin to exhibit better behavior, especially while I wrote on the board, thinking I had magical _54_．I never told them differently．Why _55_ a good thing?
