At the end of class, Jan approached Mrs. Teller’s desk and asked, “Is that offer for extra help still open?”
Jan is taking an advanced physics course. He considers science one of his stronger subjects at school, but he is struggling on homework and tests for this class. When his teacher, Mrs. Teller, offers to give him extra help, he is too embarrassed to accept. Eventually, Jan’s grades take a turn for the worse and he second-guesses his refusal.
