perhaps; as Wordwind patiently explained:

Jordan who, though a horrible oral reader, needs to know the naming of parts, needs to know down to
the last detail why this word is called an adjective here but a verb over there. And I do have a Jordan
and he must understand word functions, punctuation rules precisely and with some comfort level
reached about the--ah, me--exceptions. And you two are just two types among so many who dwell
inside the English classroom.
