are you nice to slow learners ?

[Bo592]

How do you feel about people with learning problems are you nice or do you lose your frustration with them easy ? I alway felt really strongly on never colsing the door on them, to alway give them a chance to improve them self.I understand when people have trouble learning about everday thing that most people should know about right now. simple things that seem really hard to them but not to us. are you guys nice and understanding to people who are slow learners ?

In some area's I'm slow because I have a type of adhd, but I am able to learn things. With me being agoraphobic and full of anxiety I have to focused my attention on self learning to get rid of the negative thoughts and the feeling of being alone. I like to learn in my free time; I believe education is that important. If you can not deal with slow learners then don't. They're probably really smart people, but they can't pay attention or have to learn things in a specific way. Don't force yourself even though you feel like they should know something. It is just making it worse for the other person and you.

yes, absolutely! some people learn better in different styles... some learn best from listening, some from seeing it performed, some from reading, some from pictures, or writing... it is incredibly shallow to judge.

if it's obvious they are not paying attention, not making an effort then that is different.

Having a half-sister who has a learning disability, I think I've learned a lot about patience and understanding with people who are slow learners. So I do not become frustrated, but I also know how not to patronise people... (One of the things which irritates me beyond belief is people being patronising towards people... Old people, children, those with mental disabilities.. Drives me mad!)

Ive always been a slow learner. My school thought for sure i had a learnin disability. My dad never believed it and would never allow them to place me on modified programs.

Parents. ugh.

I do my absolute best to try to be sensitive to anyone's needs, slow learner or not.

 

[Arthur_Dent]

No, I'm mean and bitter in general :/

 

[Gaucho]

i try to be very respectful and understanding to slow learner, if i see how they try but just cannot understand something. i know how it feels, so I'm glad i can help.

 

[shakethelight]

I like to think I have patience. I used to take care of an autistic child who was 13 but mentally 5. I loved trying to teach him things & working with him even if it took a while. Cause when someone does make progress or understands you feel happy for them.

And I also think, everyone has different areas where they excell- for example my brother can play guitar, where I could never learn that. And, I have good reading comprehension skills. But, he struggles. So, I think most of us are can be slow learners in some ways?

 

[Facethefear]

THE WRONG ANSWER: I am always mean and cruel to such people but they are so slow, I always get away with it...for a while.

THE CORRECT ANSWER:

yes, absolutely! some people learn better in different styles... some learn best from listening, some from seeing it performed, some from reading, some from pictures, or writing... it is incredibly shallow to judge.
if it's obvious they are not paying attention, not making an effort then that is different.

 

[montejocarlo]

i'm a slow-learner, so i understand how it feels. i try to be patient as much as i could.

 

[KiaKaha]

Yes. I am quite patient with people who are struggling.

I too am a slow learner in life I am 29 years old and have trouble with wirting check out or reading and understanding mail. whenever I have to sign a form I panic because of all the questions that I don`t know. I can`t focus most of the time and I have a bad memory. I can`t do math in my head when I am shopping like most people so I alway to short or to over than I plan on spending. I have no idea why I am like this I just don`t like the feeling that everybody hate me because of this and I don`t know how to change this around. I try to think better but my mind keep blacking out on me. all I can ever think about is why and how can I get people to like me . and those thoughts alway steals my focus away from school work or what ever I am doing . When I am talking to someone my mind lose track because I am think more on what to say than what the person is saying and when I do here and understand what the person said I make a comment that complete off.

Before the SA took hold I taught Special Education. And my uncle is slow learner as well so yes, I do have patience and am understanding.

 

[Phoenixx]

Yes, I have a lot of patience for people usually. My brother is a slow learner and was in special ed all the way through school, elementary and high school. He's slightly dyslexic, cannot pronounce some words correctly at all, and is also partially colorblind. However he is also talented in certain areas where I am not. (math and mechanics, for example.)

Mind you, I know we have our arguments, mostly don't get along, and we talk rudely to each other (and he sometimes treats me like crap), but that is nothing but ridiculous sibling bantering. Has nothing to do with his disabilities at all.

 

[9407]

I have add and learning disabilities so I'm a pretty slow learner myself. I'm understanding to other people who don't learn fast. I had a teacher back in high school who called students who learned slow stupid (behind their backs).

 

[SHYoreoCOOKIE4U]

Yes. I have dyscalculia, so how could I not?

i relate completely. maybe that is more a matter of preoccupation than being "slow"... that's what i tell myself anyway. when people are impatient or rude it says more about who they are than who you are. people who are impatient with you are rude, selfish, and undeserving of your time. stay strong and keep fighting the good fight no matter what.
