training frustrations

I had to show my apprentice today how to use the modulus operator, as he just didn't get it.

But before that I had to explain how to divide integers leaving a quotient and remainder. He didn't get that either.

"Ok, so tell me the remainder of one divided by two..."
(several seconds pause)
"That's a bit hard."

I ended up drawing diagrams and using coins to explain how to do division. Just what are they teaching them these days??

OP here. Inventor of "<=>" was eventually fired for hacking into the company owner's emails. Actually that's not quite true. He was fired for then complaining to the owner after he found a bunch of emails in there quite rightly discussing how terminally stupid at everything he is.
