I love to read so way back in the day when I started a class I would read the whole book in a week or so and I smoked the tests but that was not good enough for moat of my teachers. I had many of them threaten me if I read ahead of the lessons.
Never cared mush for homework either, quit doing that about 5th grade
I wish I had known you back then.
In second grade - we were learning to add and subtract. I asked my Dad if you could could subtract a bigger number from a smaller number - he said yes! You get a negative number. I went back the next day and told my teacher - she said that was something I would learn but for now "No". In that moment - I trusted my Dad and knew that the education system was somehow flawed.
My Dad taught me Calculus in 6th grade. My Dad was a superhero. I miss him.
