Default wild to cultivated changes?




Take your time to assimilate. We'll still be here and happy to help. But
please don't slander yourself again like that. It is NOT futile. Way back,
many many years ago, when I was teaching, I would rebuke any student who
made such a remark, encouraging them to have more confidence. You can learn
and understand anything you wish, if you are honestly trying. If, in such a
circumstance, you don't understand something I have said, the fault is mine;
not yours.



That is my philosophy too. Glad to see there are other people who
actually care about teaching out there. If you didn't understand me, it
was because I didn't use the right words. There are exceptions for
people who just don't listen, but you can't teach them anything they
don't already know anyway.
