< I also remember being terribly bored because the lessons were spoonfed, very slowly. And being told by the teacher not to raise my hand anymore, give someone else a chance.> 'tis a curse, I tell you, a curse and there's no absolution. < And the hideous searing embarrassment when I made a mistake (infrequent!), and the other kids smirked at me.> "See! Yer notso smart! Nananana!" So you go off like Chris Michael Langan with an IQ of 195, or Steve Schuessler @ 185 or Gina LoSassa @ 168 and live two lives. Daily you cope with the averages then escape into your own world at every opportunity. Oh, Life. . . . ain't it great........

<<What I remember, and I don't promise it's Third Grade, >> When I was in the 6th grade the 6th graders got to be crossing guard helpers, kinda like little cops. Wore a bandoleer and broke up fights and stopped mamas picking up tykes so other tykes could cross. The best was picked each month to be the captain for the next month. I got to be captain and not only that I was captain for the rest of the year, 6 terms. Wore a badge on my bandoleer. Yes ma'am, I took names, license numbers and ran a tight ship. 30 years later the principal remembered me. I peaked a little early.
