 Re: Fear of learning?
I've seen similar problems in the past, mostly with a student wanting to be placed in a lower level. In part, it may come down to a lack of confidence. In part, it may also come down to the idea that he/she needs to perfect some basic structures.
However, after a few lessons, these better intentions get forgotten. It then comes down to looking good, feeling smart, and demonstrating all the hard work put in to learn the language - showboating is a good word, I think.
If the student were in one of my classes, I would move him/her up. Unfortunately, you don't have this option. |
