Yes, but were you subjected to mental and physical abuse?

Mine wasn't problems at home (that was all fine), it wen't something like:

Kid from out of town + 18 months younger than peers in same grade + Startling 
to off-the-chart assesment scores + 98% or better grades on class tests + 
refuses to do or turn in homework assignments + poor socialization skills & 
problems getting along with other students + ignores Teachers / works ahead / 
reads unrelated material in class + argues with teachers over incorrect / 
inexact information = Label child as "Disobedient - Discipline problem" + 
react to challenges of authority / knowledge with corporal punishment 
(paddling) and in-class humiliation + accuse parents of abuse / neglect at 
home + attempt to deny student advancement to next grade not because of 
academic ability but because of 'behavioral issues' (succeed once - my 
parents moved and I changed school districts frequently because of this)
