Slowest Common Denominator
The kid in class who slows down the rest by having to get every last thing repeated to him/her 8 times before understanding it.
Teacher 1) I hear you got Tommy and Linda in English class. I had them last year. They're some really bright kids.
Teacher 2) Yeah, but I feel horrible. It's damn near Christmas and we still haven't finished basic sentence structure because Kyle still doesn't understand subject-verb agreement and he asks me 2 dozen questions per class that I've already answered.
Teacher 1) That's always so unfortunate, when the brightest in the bunch are put in the same classes as the Slowest Common Denominator.
Teacher 2) Yeah. I wish there was room in the budget to have more advanced classes.

Common denominator problems
When someone complains about how bad something is, so they substitute it for another thing they believe is good, only to complain how bad it is almost immediately after the substitution. The individual making the complaint has no self awareness and therefore doesn't realise they are the problem and the things they claim are bad, probably aren't.
Example 1:
A woman is bored of sex with her husband, so she divorces him and finds a new and exciting man to have sex with. Then she realises the sex is boring and repeats only to find the sex is still boring. It is likely she just sucks at sex.
Example 2:
A man is frustrated with the demands of his job and quits after a year taking on a similar job elsewhere believing it will be better only to realise that he is frustrated with the demands of his new role. He then repeats this, when in likelihood, he just sucks at managing his workload.
