and i was bored silly. i was reading before i was three, & 
reading my father's Master's textbooks by the time i was 4. my 
parents got the NY school system to accept me for Kindergarten 
when i was 4. in NY, i was pretty much allowed to read what i 
wanted when the other kids were learning, but when we moved to 
MA when i was in 2nd grade things went bad fast. that school 
allowed no variation from the norm. i was punished for writing 
cursive, for reading anything but the baby texts, for working 
ahead in the math book. when my teacher took my copy of Arthur 
C. Clarke's Childhood's End away for being inappropriate & 
even refused to return it to my mother (mom bought me a new 
copy), i'd gave up on school. at age 6 i told that teacher i 
didn't need school & i didn't need her. i could learn & do 
anything i wanted and she couldn't stop me. that didn't go 
over well... :)
 i fought the school system from then on & i vowed i'd never 
subject a child of mine to that mind-numbing, stifling 
blandness. schools have only become worse since i attended.
