Cover of Lost in Translation

You gave him three instructions. He heard all three. He understood all three. Ten minutes later he has done none of them, and everyone in the building has decided he is lazy.

Middle school is where this falls apart, because middle school runs on spoken directions that nobody writes down.

Marcus is not lazy and he is not slow. His working memory cannot hold a string of spoken instructions long enough to act on them. Written down, the same boy is fine.
