I remember being told I needed to do homework at home and my assigned work at school. I was fast enough that I got through the assignment and started on my homework. Teacher told me to stop. I kept at it as I figured it was better than sitting around bored out of my skull. Teacher lost her shit and I got sent to the principal's office.

As a kid, this confused me. However, I kept doing it.

    While teaching is an underpaid profession, and good teachers deserve A LOT of respect for what they do, it has to be said that many many horrible people become teachers.

    I've had my fair share of these people. Would throw them off a cliff if I could lol

    Part of the purpose of homework is to encourage the student to revisit the assignment later in the day. Repetition of exercise develops muscles and your brain is a muscle.

    That said

    Teacher lost her shit

    Generally best when teachers manage their own tempers, as hot heads do a poor job of gaining the trust and maintaining the attention of their students.

    I loved to read, so if I got my work or test done quickly, I had time to read while everybody else was still.workung.

    I was especially good with reading tests, because I was always the best reader in my classes in elementary school. I was always the first done.
