Luke* hated writing.

He would be the first to give up and would then behave in a way that distracted other students from their learning and required intervention from the teacher.

Working with Luke to develop his skill as a writer was slow and painstaking work. In the beginning, he would tell me his ideas and I would madly try and keep up with him and get them down onto the page. After writing a paragraph, we would read back over his work. It took some convincing for him to believe it was his work; after all, I was the one that had done all of the 'writing'.
