I’m currently reading “Surely you’re joking, Mr Feynman”, and this reminds me of his experience in high school where the teacher thought he talked too much and was too noisy because he was bored - so he gave him a copy of “Advanced calculus” by Woods to work through during class time and told him he wasn’t allowed to speak in class until he was done with it. He clearly found that a valuable experience.
