There are students, in a category apart, very rare, who fit the description in Paul’s question below. What do we do with such students?
Ben –
I have a girl in one of my classes that has a mental block that will not allow her to decode anything. She is not able to even take the leap of faith that she knows anything, and she is not even able to recognize exact cognates. Many times I lose patience with her and just have to move on. I hate leaving any students behind, but she is the only student that is like this in the class. I am at a loss and I don’t really know what to do. I feel like a failure when it comes to her, and I can’t seem to figure out a solution. Have you ever had a student like this? If so, what did you do?
Completely baffled,
Paul Seevinck
