I went to a private school for GCSE's and AS and was removed because of ADHD related problems including poor organisational skills and an inability to conform to their strict homework regulations, like proving you had done 3 hours a day
I was told to consider doing BTECS but had another crack at A levels at a local state school
My Politics Teacher really enjoyed hearing my opinions and after i started getting in the same kind of troubles i had at the previous school pleaded to the headmaster that i be given a chance.
I spent most of my time at home studying, able to sleep and live how I was comfterble, and soon gained a weird ability to hyper focus
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8496955.stmBecause I went from U's to 100% , it was a big deal for me. Because it was a bad underpeforming school, it was a big deal for them. Because my D in Chemistry stopped me from studying Politics at my Firm and Insurance choice, it ended up being a nice memory in a dark twist to my A level year
Because of the story the grade came from, I am keen to know what it is and is not. It might be an ego trip, but I don't think its a hugely deplorable one,
Also had a Physco mess with my head the whole year, was nice middle finger thing to shove in her face
