I was hired to teach GP to a student whose exam is in 10 days.

Me: How did you do for Prelims?

Student: Very good.

Me: Oh. A2?

Student: No. I got 48.

Me: How is that good?

Student: Good enough to sign on police.

Me: Policemen also need to write reports. So you still need good English!

[after going through his work]

Me: And I don't think you'll be able to fire guns well as a policeman if your writing is anything to go by. Everything off target.

At least he's confident. My latest crash-course case doesnt bother, cant be bothered, and tries to stall time by doodling, by taking a long time to think (or trying to make me think she's thinking), replies dunno to any question that requires a "why, what, who, when, how".

2 hours of these a week.
