Read the excerpt from “the girl who silenced the world for five minutes.” at school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. you teach us . . • not to hurt other creatures, • to share – not be greedy. then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? suzuki most likely includes this question in her speech to ask listeners to remember what is taught in kindergarten. encourage listeners to remember their own kindergarten classes. challenge listeners to think about how they act in the world. make listeners feel good about how children in the world are taught.
