Yes..I would like to have a little chat with the grade 2 teacher that told my mother I was retarded. Man, it’s no wonder that for years in school I felt like a nothing. I can only imagine how she must have treated me with such an assumption in her head, although I don’t remember much of it. I’m 47 now.
For a retarded kid, I think I did pretty well for myself in the end. I completed college and I’ve been tested with an IQ of over 140. I also make a fairly good living for myself with higher than average pay. It’s too bad that despite all that, I still have a lifetime of self-esteem issues holding me back from being who I know I am capable of becoming thanks to teachers, and so many other people like her that just didn’t understand ADD.
