The teacher that made the biggest impact on me was the smarmy arsehole or a headteacher at my junior school. He suggested to my parents that I was probably having difficulties in the lessons due to the fact that I may have a lower intelligence, therefore he requested a full psychiatric review and IQ testing to be done my the Local Education Authority. Well the report was rather interesting and instead of me being the one with the bad report the school had it's knuckles rapped. They were advised to use part of their annual budget to buy higher level books for all subjects as I was 'acting out' through boredom. Two weeks later I joined Mensa - aged 7 & 3/4. For any child to be publicly segregated from their peers for their 'special tests' it is humiliating. But, it was the bullying I endured from the Headteacher and the staff that gave me the drive to show them all that they were completely and utterly wrong about me. I have since had one of the staff as a patient on my ward - he refused to speak to me, telling the Sister that I would be incompetent and was a waste of space. Shame, every other patient I have cared for has never had any complaints!
