I sympathize. �My husband can't tell me things very well. �If he wants me to drive somewhere that he knows how to get there and I don't, then I honestly try to beat him to the passenger seat. �It's not that he can't give directions it's that he doesn't want to give the whole directions and then just answer any questions I have so I can understand what I need to understand. �I don't think he's bad at giving directions. �He gives other people directions and I don't see them struggle. �He thinks I just don't listen and he complains about it. �But I listen and ask questions it's because I'm not seeing what he's saying and he's not seeing what I'm asking. �Therefore I stop at the first store I see for anything and beat him back to the passenger seat. �I thought he was being antagonistic. �He thinks I'm intentionally not listening. �I read about visual-spatial big picture learners and audio-sequential learners and it just seemed to explain the scenerio. �It's not even a fight or an argument to think either one of us is doing it intentionally, but it's frustrating enough to feel like it, and it's been that way for close to a decade. � He just gives directions the way it would make sense to him if he got them, and I ask questions for clarification if I don't understand something and he thinks if I would just listen and follow the steps.. Maybe that's the case with the teacher. �If so there's no deep answers or magic cure, just acceptance. �At least understanding makes the issue not so heavy. � If so then he's a good student and she's a good teacher they just have to go through this year kind of doing their own thing separately. �Like he does his student thing and if he needs help on the homework he should ask for it from another source. �And she does her teacher thing and lays out the lessons and homework to progress through the subject in a thoughtful way. �
