These are a bit more than just 'labels' - they're properly diagnosed conditions. I'll have to admit to never having heard of 'school phobia', but I suspect it's some sort of psychosis, which is not the same as a lifelong disability like Aspergers.

That's not to excuse verbal or physical abuse from any pupil, but a distinction has to be made between - you can't just lump the kids with special needs in with the trouble makers.

Strangely enough, mine are quite the opposite. Little horrors at home, but lovely kids away from home, by all accounts (most of the time, anyway )
