<p>I get told off for reading too, despite the fact that it occasionally pertains to the class and that its actually more sophisticated reading material than what we read at school. Sigh, I’ve been learning about communism, capitalism ect ect at school in history class, and as I was familiar with such political theories and some of their ideologists long before the material was taught to me by an incompetent teacher, I discovered that listening to his endless useless lectures actually deteriorated some of my interest in the subject matter. The fact that some of the kids in my class have uncanny difficulty with such simple concepts doesn’t exactly help. I was actually asked by the teacher once to state my opinion on the drawbacks of communism esp how it correlates to the economic patterns of a state in front of my class, and this of course only meaning that I had a superior understanding of the subject. Unfortunately, it’s little comfort to me knowing I would much rather be an average student in an advanced class with kids as intellectually passionate as me than in a class with uninspired inbeciles.(some of them being my friends)</p>
