I had teachers yell at me and tell me I was stupid, kick me and do crap to me all my years of school, it sucked!!

Your school didn't do vision and hearing screenings regularly? Just asking because they had those screenings way back when I was in school and all my kids went through them, while not as good as actually going to an audiologist they did catch my hearing loss eventually and they did catch my 3rd daughters loss when she was in 3rd grade. Hmmm, maybe not all states require hearing/vision screenings ? In MN they do them once a year in elementry and then a couple times over the last 6 yrs of school.
sounds like you had a crappy school. I'll stick with small rural schools I think.
