I could see it because I'd been there. Schools need people who've had tough experiences. Regarding your wedding party bullies. Have you thought they might just be stupid and that they're afraid of you because you're clever? When people are that rude they show that they don't recognise you as a full human being, and that they can't see how you are onto their game. Which is really stupid. Don't forget how insecure people can be sometimes. Yesterday someone was telling me about a girl who reminded me of me, and they couldn’t understand why she behaved the way she did.

Thing that saddens me is that - some 40 yrs after my difficulties in school started to get seriously and vigorously systematically ignored - it still happens to kids in schools all over. Nothing's changed in 40 yrs! That's depressing. The school should have sorted that one out. “(After several months of getting stonewalled by the school, the parents finally got an outside diagnosis of Aspergers.)”

They can even do the testing and make it about money: My second grade teacher told me that she just didn't know how to teach me, and the school was going to use that as an excuse to let me fail on the grounds that it cost them less. /ramble. But yeah...you're right. ‘This is also why running schools should never be about the bottom line’
