It sucks when someone is not naturally gifted at something, and can't just grok it.
On the other hand, neither lab time or class time is the place to learn something. That's the place to be exposed to new concepts and theories, and work on something in a controlled environment with peers.
Most real learning is supposed to be done through homework and self motivation to apply (new) skills to creative tasks.
So while someone is floundering in class to grasp the material -- I ask, how much _extra_ time outside of class time are you spending to fully grasp, ingest, and understand concepts through-and-through the stuff you find so impossibly difficult.
