Oh Squiggle - so sorry it went badly for you. It seems like T should have been more assertive but I don't know for sure. I do know that when I needed T to take the lead, she did. Our situations are different so I wouldn't be able to say that that is exactly what you should have received from T.

It does seem like she could offer more guidance instead of giving you the same homework over and over again. Of course we need to do our own work but when we find ourselves stuck, we need extra help. I can feel your frustration and I think it's very understandable. She keeps asking you to figure it out by yourself. It seems like she should be trying a different method by now.
