I was a C - D student in elementary school. I was treated by most of my teachers as an idiot.

Clocked REAL high on an IQ test and was sent to the "advanced" classes in Jr high where I led the pack by a large margin.

That said, I see the evil they do and despise them.

BTW: the Cs - Ds in elementary school? Child abuse.
