Summary: Good thoughts!
Comment: As a seventh grade mathematics teacher, studying to be a school counselor, I found this book to be helpful. It is an easy read and offers, not only a clinical explanation why Eric and Dylan did what they did, but suggests ways to transform the atmosphere in schools so there will less likely be another event like Columbine. Unfortunately, Aronson only suggests two possible solutions for transforming the school atmosphere; increase emotional intelligence and implementing the "jigsaw" method of teaching. I agree, teachers should implement "teachable moments" on empathy so that there is nobody left to hate, but I often find it difficult when teaching algebra to use the "jigsaw" method. As I start the new year, with this book in mind, I plan to do more cooperative group work, however, it would also be nice to have other "tricks" up my sleeve to create empathy and a less competitive classroom.
