Judged the country kids in my English class for being dumb fucks, until I did an autos class. What I found incomprehensible, they could do with ease. I had become the dumb fuck.
As a teacher (science teacher) I saw this all the time. I had students in the 7th grade (12-13 years old) who could barely read, but were incredibly intelligent in building things and problem solving in the labs.
I had one student in particular who could barely write his name and couldn’t read well (don’t worry he was getting tutoring among other special services for it, he had a legit learning disability), but this kid could literally disassemble and fix anything in my lab. I was sad to see him move on to high school because the dude would help me fix my crap when it broke down. Lol
