I had a student once who couldn't pick his name from a register. Couldn't tell left from right, couldn't tell the time. He had begun to drop away from the other kids at an early age, during the first couple of years of primary school. He spent most of his school life skipping classes, causing trouble, being labelled as stupid and eventually went on to develop a serious alcohol dependency. His opinion of himself was very low.
But he was a brilliant artist. And frankly one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. Not educated, but very intelligent. Absolutely broke my heart.
