There's too much new stuff going on for them to be confident enough to communicate well.


Perhaps a difference between a structured approach to tutoring and an unstructured approach. (and I'm not stating a preference)

Life is.

The number of times I've heard my children say something similar about their teachers (gdrvvf).
Shy and polite doesn't cut it in community pharmacy - the reasons a customer will choose you rather than the next pharmacist - is down to the impression that you make with them.

So whose school report described them as

Q1 ..... 'idle' and 'inattentive'.?

Q2 “cannot be trusted to behave himself anywhere”, and that he was “so regular in his irregularity that I really don’t know what to do”.

Q3“He is rebellious, objectionable, idle, imbecilic, inefficient, antagonising, untidy, lunatic, albino, conceited, inflated, impertinent, underhand, lazy and smug.”

Q4 “He has glaring faults, and they have certainly glared at us this term.”

Q5 “Hopeless . . . certainly on the road to failure.”

Q6. ".. shows great originality, which must be curbed at all costs.”

Q7. "... has set herself an extremely low standard which she has failed to maintain'

Q8, "...grasp of elementary dynamics is truly astonishing. Had he lived in an earlier aeon, I have little doubt but that the wheel would now be square and the principle of the lever just one more of man’s impossible dreams'


It's a bit like learning to drive - lots of going through the individual bits - then suddenly for no apparent reason it comes together.

Jeff, what does "ggvdf" stand for? Please keep making me laugh - it keeps the horror at bay - I'm in danger of taking the whole thing way too seriously - it's so annoying to realise that if it was happening to me I'd deal with it - it's because it's my baby, big as she is, that my perspective is obscured by red mist! I'm reading "Hannibal Rising" later!
