Nope.
Well aside from being EXTREMELY rebellious (No joke)
By questioning everything at a mature way, that makes everyone my age say "STUPIDHEAD" and my teachers saying "Uhm, well..i..don't know??uh..."
(Im pretty sure why they call me stupid, is because they don't understand, and thats a statement..to..themselves xD KIDDING, but seriously half the time people don't understand what I mean)
Example :
x4-(y+5*45)=92y (or something like that..im just making up random stuff)
Solve for x and Y
and then I will ask "When you take X and Y, can you give me an example of when, we are adults, and lets say you are going into the culinary division, please give me an example of how you would use that, without saying "well if you don't know ingredients", because thats just dumb, I mean, thats the point of cooking, you NEVER NOT know the ingredients, or, measurements. In cooking world thats called "common sense of guessing" so please give me an example, then I will follow the curriculum"
Said at age 9...
Seriously, thats how rebellious I am,
People say "YOU DONT NEED A REASON, JUST DO WHAT I SAY"
For me, I need a reason. Its useless to learn something then say "Yes, well its payback for my kids to make them learn it"
Another thing,
What the hell is the point of box and whisker plots, or stem and leaf plots!?
My parents got through their entire life of not knowing what they are, why just randomly add it to the curriculum!?
Even in the math career field, i don't see it being used.
I love school.
I love the concept of school,
but sometimes it gets on my nerves....
Im POSITIVE what I want to be when I grow up, and 99.9 percent of what Im learning right now, at the moment, DOES NOT tie into it at all.
I should be focusing on fractions and decimals.
Have I understood that concept yet!?
NO. We spent 20 minutes saying "well, you move the 0..and..then..divide something..and then. blah blah blah..no wait i messed up...".
My school grades?
Honor roll.
All A honor roll?
NO.
NEVER.
I WILL NOT GIVE IN.
I MUST HAVE A B OR ELSE I WILL CRY.
B is my source of happiness, A's are a waste of time.
I have A's but if i had all A's I would be seriously depressed.
A-B is the way to go for me.
Why?
Because I want to prove that I don't need to excel in EVERYTHING in order to make a good living.
It sounds like a really stupid idea, but Ive spent my entire life with this.
Its worked so far.
Failure is NOT an option.

Sorry that was really off topic.

Im a pretty good student though.
"Everyone hates" me but Im okay with that.
