Huh, I wonder.

I always struggled in school, even though I generally understood all the concepts pretty well.

I do remember at one point being pulled from classes and read a book to a guy, then a week later being put in special ed. The special ed program got shut down and shortly after I moved and the new school was even more of a shit show where no one cared/had the capacity to single out one struggling student.
