jason seems like a good guy i bet if you showed him where chicken breasts came from he would go vegetarian
jason seems the kinda guy that has compassion but his ways are being corroded by the outside world
You are only too kind, my fellow Carolinian brother.
Jason is not a bad fellow, I agree, but he is slow. I've just started student teaching (long story), and newbie teachers are usually thrown straight into the fry pan.
I'm dealing with kids who are a good bit younger than Jason and, in some cases, they're much higher-functioning: I swear, a pair of Asperger's twins, male and female, I know should not only be in a so-called "LD-class," they really should be in community college. Rainman has NOTHING on them, and these two have actual personalities and very good interpersonal skills to boot. They certainly don't freak out when I introduce them to someone and said person goes for a hug. If anything, my twins *groove* on that hug! They even tell me they can't wait to "get adult" such that they can hug on anyone they like.
Jason strikes me as someone of about comparable intelligence (ranging anywhere from 70-85; it's hard to be more specific, especially since I ain't a pro), but apart from his photographer, it seems as if the boy has precious little guidance when he's not filmed. Then, when he is, he seems to train the same bodyparts with an alarmingly-high frequency.
Methinks Darth Squeaky is a guy who wanted a big pair of pecs and good arms, then someone caught onto his overblown ambitions and decided to either motivate the boy by filming his successes and many, many failures OR someone recognized a train-wreck when he sees it and, since Jason happens to "train" in his gym, he'd document that for ... ? Whatever reason. It still escapes me.
This kid needs much more than rethinking chicken breasts and beef to get where he needs.
