I was a kid too, so I understand that feeling! Or, I don’t know how to do this! Even though they’ve already been completing those kinds of assignments with ease. Most of the time I tell them that I know that they can do it because they can and that I believe in them because I do! June 26, 2015. December 22, 2014. Refusing is only a politeness.
