Remedial is an adjective!

It is incorrect to say, "Do you have remedial?" What we actually mean is "remedial class/lesson", since it is an adjective. Alternatively, you can nominalise it to say "remediation", though that would be a unnecessary mouthful.

Remedial

Can it be? I enjoy giving remedial more than actual teaching. The pressure of book checking is lifted and I can afford to be creative with my lessons. Proceeding with diagnostic tests for English and heuristics for Maths and maybe Science. But having fun so far and I hope I can remove the stigma of remedial in the students' minds.
