Thursday, May 3, 2007

I’ve spent three hours with Jed studying. But it’s really difficult, I hadn’t realised how little he knew, and his writing is really terrible, he can’t spell and he only uses the simplest of words – good, bad, alright... I studied with Imogen last night and it went quite well, she wants to do well even though she sometimes pretends that she doesn’t and that it doesn’t matter. But with Jed it’s completely different, he really, really tries hard, but it’s as if he hasn’t had an education for the past five years. I find it really difficult because I don’t want to patronise him, but I keep coming unstuck when we’re going over something and it’s obvious he hasn’t got a clue what I’m talking about. He seems to be too ashamed to tell me that he’s having problems understanding, but I can now see it in his face. It seems that the thing to do with him is to make lists, if we make lists about things and he writes them down he can remember them. But how we can get past his small vocabulary and his spelling I don’t know.
