Default Re: Is it me or them?

Hello,

I wouldn't beat myself up over this. In my experience, when there are a few students who just seem to struggle with everything you will probably find that they struggle in their native language too. These students probably don't have grammar down in Spanish, or whatever their first language is. Trying to learn grammar in a second language, when you haven't mastered it in your first, is difficult and just takes more time. Let them participate and learn from other higher performing students. Know that every teacher runs into this. Thanks!
