That sort of problem was one we continuously encountered at high school. Something should have been taught years ago, by someone else, and nobody will make any attempt to teach it later on, even if they find out you weren't taught it. It can be quite distressing for some students to find out that they've been shortchanged, and there's no remedy. e.g. English at high school was generally useless writing of book reviews, etc. No actual teaching of using the language. What they taught was useless to the great majority of the population (how many do that as a job?), and if you had any problems with understanding the language, well tough. You weren't going to be taught how to understand or write the language, there. I stopped working in schools years ago, and I have no real desire to be a part of the current system. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
