Well, I can tell you what happened in my case. When I left a catholic school, because they liked to cane me every 2nd day, as they were extreme bullies, and I was only 7 at the time. The letter to the new public school said, that I don't want to apply myself and I was deficient in the ability learn. That went against me, and I was placed in lower classes. But within 2 months at the new school, I was put in higher classes and remained in higher classes for rest of my life. Even going to UNI, to do and pass a degree in an Applied Science. My problem being all my life was though, is if it doesn't interest me, I wont enjoy or do the work. Only, this year at 60 years of age have I been diagnosed with Asbergers Syndrome, it might account for those previous years of teaching problems. But I did prove, that I had an higher IQ then what those catholic nuns thought I had.
