And Mr K. really did say "Let's see where you got off track so you can fix things and arrive at the right answer." He wanted us to get it - and his approach was contagious. It wasn't long before he started connecting classmates who got it with those who were struggling. "Maybe the way he/she explains it will make better sense than the way I do." He was always gracious. God's even better at it!
