May 10--The judges still have faith.

They've predicted the castoffs for four straight weeks. But when viewers decided to boot Paris Bennett from American Idol last week, the fourth-graders in Craig Lautenschleger's New Albany class were stunned.

But "they are still confident in their selection, and I think they are right on," said Lautenschleger, who teaches in the district's second-through-fifth grade elementary school.

During their math lesson today, the students will cast their predictions -- and calculate percentages -- about who will be the next to go.

Will it be Chris, Taylor, Katharine or Elliott?…
