I think I've given the same set of instructions three times to this one new student. I finally insisted that he take notes. This is nuts. I've told him several times that he should be attending the tutoring sessions with my Sharon (my DEC counterpart) if he isn't understanding me, but I don't think that has registered. Hopefully my telling him mother helped.
Sharon, unfortunately, had a death in the family. She's been emotionally out of play all week. Somehow, the majority of losses I've had like this have been during summers. However, Sharon's been out of play for much of the school year, and working with her has been rough. She claims to be intimidated by our knowledge and reluctant to throw in her opinions. She's been teaching three times longer than I have and used to teach the teachers how to modify any and all curriculum. This shouldn't be an issue.
Sorry, just banging my head into a wall right now.
