It’s not always that simple. Context matters. I work in metal fabrication, and more than a small fraction of the people who end up in this trade are here because they have learning disabilities, typically undiagnosed, or if they are they don’t advertise it. Many of us are in this trade because we are too dull to have chosen something higher paying with better conditions. Additionally, may of the tools and equipment we use are inherently dangerous, so teaching might involve repeatedly showing and correcting, watching, scrutinising, and coming back again and again to review and refresh. Kindness certainly helps though :)
