    Ironically, in elementary school I’d constantly be distracted by reading and rereading posters like that around the classroom instead of actually paying attention

      Thankfully in HS nobody really seemed to care what I was doing to begin with. In the end I was already going through with a fuck it attitude, as the principal rejected my request for individual study plan (also signed by a doctor as required).

      For example, on one math class I just pulled out my laptop, put in earphones, and did whatever else I found more useful (specifically at that time studying CCNA). Teacher called me to the board, I got an A, went back to my activity. Just one teacher got a bit upset when I was preparing for a national competition I was going to, and when asked to put away my laptop, I said that “I don’t have time for it”.
      It didn’t occur to me that it might seem rude, as it was true. But anyway…

      For majority of other classes, I was just doing whatever all the time, and only being mentally present for exams, which typically were laughably easy.
