Slow learners remedial teaching

Who are slow learners? Who are weak students? Why do we call slow learners? How can we identify weak students in the classroom? Does weak student really exist in the classroom? We need to understand the nature of learner. Why do learners become weak in academic?
Minute observation of weak students and proper monitoring of academically weak student can bring magical result. We need to work on weak student. Academically weak child is not the result of his physical and mental deficiency but the poor parental and system failure.
