When a teacher says she wants you to do something that means you should do it. It’s the same as saying you have to do it. Well why didn’t she say that? It’s a nice way of saying it. No it’s not. It’s a confusing way of saying it. And she should say PLEASE if she’s trying to be nice.
Good possible future advice for when I have students on the spectrum--I tend to word things more like a suggestion than an instruction
