>I got several 0 marks (which got my math grades from 10/10 down _under_ the sufficiency and required me to _repeat_ the year) for arguing with the teacher about the limits of the machine words (I went with a print-out of a ~10 pages bignum library I wrote just to disprove her). I actually got suspended for asking the school director if I could be an assistant during these classes. I only have shitty memories about these times.

See that's where you messed up and made a mistake. In school you are supposed to learn but also not a huge dick to the teacher. "Yes sir. No sir" is all you should be saying and you get along just fine. The time to rise is college, high school is just kindergarden with the occasional make out session.

Too bad you don't really realize that when you're at that age. I think that was implied.
