No, but I would keep trying to help the student get it.
She does know I think it is not working. She has said it may not be working. It is just figuring out how to make it work.
Right now I would be happy with:
"Lichen relate to baseball like this..."
But when I tell her this, she says she does not know. When I say "why did say x" she will say she does not know.
I am very frustrated at this but then she tells me I am the only person who has this trouble with her and that she is excellent at her job.
