I at least sympathize. In college I was either one of the best students in the school or one of the worst. Consistently was at least 2 standard deviations ahead of the class in compilers and strong in abstract maths, but I failed every writing course at least once. I spent roughly a year and a half taking and retaking writing courses after finishing all my other courses and nearly got kicked out. If someone excels in something, nurture that; don't shut talented people out of their potential because they have deficiencies elsewhere.
