What set you apart from the rest of the kids at school?
Submitted by jks.
I was the only kid to get in trouble for reading in reading class. I read constantly, and it was always upsetting my teachers... I'd read ahead, I'd finish the book and go read something else... it varied, but my reading got me in trouble.
I also had a large vocabulary that I didn't have the sense to use wisely. I had a teacher mock me in front of a class for using the word "prosaic" to describe her class. I guess a smart-ass kid saying her class was unimaginative and dull was a bit more than she was willing to take.
