The teacher was the problem

I taught Charlie how to play chess about three years ago. Since then, we’ve played quite a bit. He likes the game.

I offered to teach Clara, too, but she rejected my repeated offers.

Not interested.

Last week, I found my kids on the giant chess board at Winding Trail, the lake and recreation club where we are members.

Charlie was teaching Clara how to play the game with the enormous pieces.

Apparently, her refusal to learn to play the game had nothing to do with chess and everything to do with me.
