Magnotta was enrolled in grade 6 at age 10 or 11, and had the ability to read and write at one point. He had a humiliating past at school, including being bullied by his students as they tried to ruin his hair, calling him a baby, and laughing at his clothes (as Magnotta's parents didn't have enough money to buy him clothes at Value Village). Magnotta would try to play nice by giving them a piece of chewing gum to make them stop. But instead, the students would still bully him. The class monitors would even be dismissive of him whenever he got into this situation. Apparently, Magnotta once threw a chair at a Grade 6 teacher. Although he was often bullied in school in the past, he now communicates with three other students who have a disability. Initially, Magnotta had been placed in the special education classes when he first attended school due to his inability to do math and reading. His mother also wanted to attend, but was dismissed because she was "thought to be intrustive." | Magnotta was enrolled in grade 6 at age 10 or 11, and had the ability to read and write at one point.
