    I used to do this to teachers I didn’t like in high school. My biology teacher eventually just let me sleep in class to avoid it.

      So you used to research the topic and become overly familiar with it to the point you could recite answers and ask pertinent questions. And your teacher gave you a pass on sleeping becuase they rightly realized you were… now hear me out on this… doing the work and educating yourself. You sure got one up on those bad teachers! ;)

      I’ve myself started teaching some years ago and came to conclusion that shitty teachers that I had in school still taught me a very important lesson - how NOT to do teaching.

    In high school I had a buddy who was super into music and got a gig writing reviews for new albums.

    I found and memorized an entire review, word for word (at least 1000 words), and set up my one other buddy to ask me if I’d heard of the album casually at lunch.

    I only got partway through the second sentence before my buddy was like “oh my god fuck you” and got up and left. It was such an incredible waste of memorization.

    I cringe because of how shitty it was to do… I really did/do love the guy. But, if this is the worst “boys will be boys” that I had out of high school I think I did ok.
