	Accomodating The "Slow Learner"In The Classroom
		"Slow learners" can be easily misidentified, so it is critical that teachers and parents consider a variety of sources of information before they assume that poor school performance is due to a slower rate of learning rather than to a real disability or situational factors.
		Slow learners who are underachieving in the basic academic areas may benefit from tutoring at school or privately.
		The slow learning child should be given assignments, particularly in social studies and science, that are highly structured and concrete.

	Slow Learner?!? - SchwabLearning.org
		Now they tell me she is slow learner/border mental retardation because she struggles with academic and social problems.

	Slow learners
		Common characteristics of a slow learner are: their measured intelligence is 75%-90% of the average child, the ability to read comes about a year later than most, and the rate at which they learn is 4/5 to 9/10 that of the normal rate.
		It may appear that slow learners are not capable of learning however, Servio Carroll wrote, “slow learners are handicapped in the regular classroom to approximately the same degree as students with average abilities when competing with gifted students.” They are able to learn although the mastery of skills comes much slower.
		Slow learners are not efficient learners and therefore require more hours of academic instruction to keep pace.

		You are told that your child is a slow learner (70-85 IQ range with commensurate achievement) and does not have a learning disability (average IQ range of 85-115 or higher, with a severe discrepancy between predicted and actual achievement) and thus does not qualify for special education services.

	Pynchon - NYT Review of "Slow Learner"
		''Slow Learner,'' then, as well as being ''illustrative of typical problems in entry-level fiction, and cautionary about some practices that younger writers might prefer to avoid,'' has certain virtues to celebrate.
		In the light of the stories in ''Slow Learner,'' each of which condemns in some way the world handed down to its protagonists, one has to wonder if underneath it all the author's attitude toward European history in ''V'' and ''Gravity's Rainbow'' isn't just plain snotty.
		Actually, I plan to stand by my admiring judgment of these later novels, and of his novella ''The Crying of Lot 49.'' I'm assuming that their author had grown by the time he wrote them.

		He speaks more about his influences than about himself, but he does address each of the five stories individually, judging them very harshly (one expects the title Slow Learner was not meant ironically), and explaining why, exactly, they didn't work.

	Play :: New Havens Arts & Entertainment Weekly. - Slow Learner
		Across their debut full-length, In Their Time They Are Magnificent, Slow Learner uses deliberate tempos and dozens of layers of instrumentation to draw listeners in, piling on skeletal piano lines, organ and accordion, space-rock guitar solos, shuffling rhythms, and some occasionally thunderous drumming.
		Napolitano himself is hesitant to put a label on what exactly it is that he plays - "essentiality this album kind of flew out, it just kind of fell out of me," he says - but he does acknowledge its transcendent, cinematic qualities.
		The question this all begs, of course, is how Slow Learner manages to recreate the massiveness and complexity of the album's tracks live.
