　　A good teacher is many things to many people．In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded(要求)the most discipline(纪律)from their students．

　　I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school．I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person．I remember very vividly(清晰地)a sign over her classroom door．It was a simple sign that said,“Laboratory－in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized(强调), not the last seven．”In other words, I guess, labor(劳动)for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches．

　　She prepared her work very care fully and demanded us to do the same．We got lots of homework from her．Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the home work load would be reduced, but it con tinued just the same．She checked our work by stamping her name at the bot tom of the papers to show that she had read them．

　　I think sometimes teachers who de mand the most are liked the least．But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit(有益于)the students．

A Divine Plan

　　At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one student de-1ivered a speech that would never be forgotten by those who attended．He began with a question．“Every-thing God does is done with Perfection．Yet, my son, Shay, cannot learn and understand things as other children do．Where is God’s plan reflected in my son?”

　　The audience was stilled by the question．The father continued, “I believe that when God brings a child like Shay into the world，an opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself．And it comes in the way people treat that child．”

　　Then he told the following story：

　　Shay and I walked pasta a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball．Shay asked, “Do you think they will let me play?”

　　I knew that most boys would not want him on their team．Shay didn’t even know how to hold the bat properly，much less connect with the ball．So I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play．The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates．Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, “We are losing by six runs(得分)．The game is in the eighth inning(回合)．He can be on our team and we will try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning．”

　　In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three．At the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield．

　　In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored again．They had the potential to win．Would the team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game?

　　Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat．At last, understanding what the boy’s intentions had been, the boys from both teams helped Shay win the game for the team and Shay was cheered as the hero．

　　“That day，”said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face “the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of the Divine Plan into this world．”
