My year 11 ds is very good at English. It's his subject, loves books and words, predicted 8/9.
His friend at another school is really struggling. Doesn't get Literary analysis and has been pretty resistant to any attempts to help/threats/bribes from school/parents. He has suddenly realized that he won't get into 6th form without a 5 in English. And he is well away from that.
DS thinks he can help. He says that he understands how friend's mind works. He is wondering whether he should offer. He says that lit crit is a technique you can learn and he is pretty sure he can teach his friend how to do it.
If your ds was the friend would he be OK with this? Or would he feel patronized/think ds was showing off/some other issue we haven't thought of?
They have been friends since nursery, and are very solid.
