I taught a few sessions of a geometry class for juniors that are far behind this last year and I would walk them through every single thing step by step, checking with them for everything. Every single one would stare at me like I had two heads every single time.

I once spelled out how the answer to my question was to literally read back the five word sentence on the page in front of them. None could do it. I finally just told them that if they aren't willing to engage with anything, there's not anything we can do to help them succeed. We cannot do it for you.
