In the 5th grade classroom I was given the task of introducing similes and metaphors to three students. After giving myself a quick mental review of these figures of speech I went to work. One student caught on quite quickly. Another student was having a particularly hard time. Being a part time volunteer it's relatively easy to be patient, but, I did think to myself, "Wow, he's really obtuse."
After class the teacher checked in with me. When I reported the student's struggle she said "Oh, yes, he's new and is just learning English." Well then............
