My most distinct memory of early education is my grade seven teacher yelling at me, saying that he never wanted to see me read a book in his classroom ever again. I used to read books in class after I finished whatever trivial in-class work we had... apparently, this was more annoying to him than the kids who didn't do their work and loudly talked about their drug consumption.

Somewhere along the way in public school I learned to put my book in my lap and my head on the desk.

Evidently it was OK if I looked like I was asleep ...

The thought of anyone getting ahead in life is truly frightening to these people.
