Hi, I have one for Mrs. Manley:

My student has a learning disability with math. He is in 
his thirties, made 500's on all his GED tests except 
writing which was a 420. HE Passed. But he cannot get 
passed 400 on math. He does not respond with logical 
methods when doing problems. He cannot make change so he 
cannot pass a math test for employment either. This is 
sad. This has been going on for two years.

I have started giving him worksheets with the answers and 
he has to set it up and find how I got it. Do you think 
this reversal will help him? what more can I do??? He and 
I are both frustrated./ What seems so easy to me is 
impossible for him. What he know yesterday he cannot do 
today.

I teach at Halifax Community College (NC) FT and at SVCC 
in Emporia (VA) PT.
