Foundation class is a major element in ensuring student catch up with basic things they need to learn including pronunciation but in this present Era when education has now become a cut and sow job, everyone feels they are qualified to teach. The consequences of it is what the boy is experiencing, I'm just glad he has someone like you to put him through and cover the lapses.
It's really important but, these days, most teachers are after their salaries. Also, most times, there's no chance for a teacher to teach the boy one-on-one seeing that he may be one who needs extra attention.
I'm glad I'm able to help him out. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for stopping by.
