All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
msbelle, does he work better with a checklist? You need these parts of speech to make a complete sentence. Or parallel examples of complete and incomplete sentences? It seems like he needs a different approach to explaining the assignment than what the teacher gave. Also, the teacher should know that he doesn't understand; that he's not *just* being stubborn.

That's a frustrating place to be in, when everyone assumes you know something but you don't and you don't want to look like an idiot by saying you don't understand, and everything's moving farther and farther away from what you know.
edit: That's how I felt in most math classes past basic algebra.

Checklists are totally good. Also articles are one of the last things to be acquired when learning a new language (prepositions is the other).

This is science. The teacher is not going to take the time to work with him to see if he knows how to write complete sentences. He is not going to know enough abut what is being asked to answer that he doesn't know why these weren't complete sentences. He can write complete sentences, he doesn't think how to change a definition structure to a sentence structure, it is hard for him. Almost done.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I do not know what to think about that, sj.
I'm highly skeptical but will likely watch anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, tell me about it. Not that my multi-lingual doctor colleagues aren't way smarter than me, but I PROMISE you, my English is better! (This often appears to be up for debate.)

Ah, thanks.
Bills paid! So far I am owning February like a boss. Relative to my usual slacking, anyway.
