Its about the students mental capacity and their ability to accumulate and relate knowledge.

Most people are not "wired" to take in great amounts of learning. Basically, most people are not Rhodes Scholars.

Every student has their own talent and their own strength that needs to be nurtured and developed...

Again, I'm so glad you don't work in schools - you wouldn't last a day...

I studied education and teaching.  My company (I was 1/3 owner) was a partner with a major university in the research, design, and development learning tools, and I worked with students and teachers in the classroom.  I helped children and adults learn to read, to calculate, to understand, and to think.

One of my tasks was to study and evaluate people like you, Bob, to identify your assets and deficits, strengths and weaknesses.  I was very good at it.

I still am.
