Let Down (?) by the Hard Worker

September 2, 2016

Tom was covering a rather difficult lesson.  It was a very small group, about 18 in a bottom set.  As usual for these sets, it was a mixed bag of students who ‘couldn’t’ but wished they could and students who ‘could’ but couldn’t be bothered to!  There was a judicious seating plan in place, and … More Let Down (?) by the Hard Worker
