(...personally, I worry about the other 2%)

From the translation of Dr. Siegfried Schanda's psyhological evaluation of Melissa Busekros...

Melissa Busekros was examined by us. She has a childhood emotional disorder, severe school phobia and an oppositional denial-syndrome. Melissa lacks insight into her illness and the need for treatment, and considers herself healthy and her behaviour fully normal. M. needs urgent help in a closed setting if need be, and subsequent special education treatment to ensure schooling.

Have you ever heard anything more frightening? Distaste for government school is considered a "childhood emotional disorder" and the treatment is to abduct the child by force, imprison the child then forcefully attempt to indoctrinate the child into thinking their parents are evil.

Most kids hate school. Is this guy nuts?

I would say "Dr." Shanda is the one who lacks insight into his illness. That's one sick person to abuse the mental health profession for such crass and heartless, political means.
