Getting back to the main point of the thread, it seemed to me that public school curriculum was geared to the slowest kid in class. As a major geek, I was bored to tears. Alcohol and weed made it a little more tolerable to be in eighth grade reviewing stuff that was taught in fourth grade.

After ninth grade I said "fuck this" and went to college, but even then the first couple semesters of college, basically a review of high school, were more challenging when I was too stoned to know what classes I had that day. Unfortunately somewhere along the way I got too stoned to show up for a few years.
