That everyone is interesting in the way they are. Some folks considered "mentally slow" are actually late bloomers, possibly dyslexic, or fraught with emotional problems, etc.
I was one of "those" people considered mentally slow. In grammar school I totally shut down the entire learning process for reasons I won't go into.
I dropped out of school by the tenth grade since I was failing at everything anyway.
Something happened in my mid 20's, for some reason I just sort of "woke-up" A manager of mine saw that I had some unusual skills, encouraged me to get my GED, I got through Community college, it took some time but I learned study skills and finally made it into University, at that point I was on fire, I couldn't get enough, hit the books until early hours of the morning.
I graduated top of my class and was valedictorian. No one yet has been able to clarify exactly what happened to me that I had to bear the stigma of being "Borderline retarded" or mentally slow.
Just be careful with kids having learning difficulties, many of us are perfectly normal and it hurts when others treat us like we are "lazy" and "slow"
