"A good teacher gives individual attention to slow learners. It is now an admitted fact that all children do not learn quickly. It is the gifted children who learn quickly and quite a large number of children coming to schools learn slowly. Slow learners lack in understanding, comprehension and expression."
The slow-learner's definition:
What is a Slow Learner?
The slow-learner's definition: A slow learner is a person who wants to learn, but he/she is slow. That is the direct meaning of it. A very dumb person, a person that cannot comprehend the most obvious details of something that is very familiar and common in the eyes of many.These type of person strives hard, reads, trying to understand, and dying to have knowledge, but, they can't achieve it. They are slow learners, they can't even understand a small fact from a mere source. You can't teach them, because they can't understand, even if you let them understand, and explain every detail of what you are trying to say, they will keep on thinking even if they can think of nothing. Nothing enters and goes out from their gray matter, nothing is processed inside their mind, their brains are static, and does not contain even a single brain cell. They are dead mentally, but they are alive physically. They are the dumbest person living in this galaxy, and throughout the universe.They speak, but others laugh at them. They can't express their thoughts, because others don't trust them. They can't even say what they wanna say, because others don't listen to them. They are nobody, they are the so-called below mediocre people, but still, they want to learn, and overcome these overwhelming odds in life. They will still fight, and are willing to prove that they still have the right to live, learn, laugh, cry, mingle, and do what normal people do. They are what the majority called "Mga Kawawa". But, after all these years, there are still here, alive, and breathing. They continue their quest for knowledge that they can't attain, but they don't lose hope, they have overcome all the barriers, and is willing to face death to prove that they have what it takes to be in this society of great and respected achievers. They are proud of being a below mediocre, "kawawa", and slow learner, and I'm proudly one of them.

"There are so many factors which are responsible for the slow growth of children. Children coming from socially disadvantaged homes, poor living conditions and the relations of parents being strained cause slow learning among children.
"With the expansion in educational technology, teachers can adopt new techniques to help slow learners in the school. More and more use of audio-visual aids, programmed learning and learning material the level of teaching and learning can be improved."
