If you've read from the bottom up like I told you to, you'll have read the piece about the tutoring program I volunteer for (for which I volunteer...). My student, who shall be called "C", is a bright, polite, studious young man who will, no doubt, one day get his PhD. I've been asked: "Why does he need your help?" Let's assume this is not a personal dig, and say that everybody needs help along the way.
Last week, C and I were going over vocabulary words in preparation for a test when we came upon the term "tepid". C said: "I don't know what a tepid is." I looked at him for a second and he continued: "Is it some kind of animal?" "Nope," I said, trying not to give the answer away. "Then," he asks, "What is a lukeworm?"
