I used to do this to teachers I didn't like in high school. My biology teacher eventually just let me sleep in class to avoid it.
I've myself started teaching some years ago and came to conclusion that shitty teachers that I had in school still taught me a very important lesson - how NOT to do teaching.
Thats the lesson my father taught me about parenting.
Exactly how I coped with having the administrator responsible for discipline as a history teacher in high school. Dude was my nemesis for three years. So I decided the best way to fight back was to be the best student in his class.
Wound up on friendly terms after I was out of school.
He played the long game.
So you used to research the topic and become overly familiar with it to the point you could recite answers and ask pertinent questions. And your teacher gave you a pass on sleeping becuase they rightly realized you were... now hear me out on this... doing the work and educating yourself. You sure got one up on those bad teachers! ;)
There is no such thing as teaching, only learning and spite.
Nah I was a terrible student, but smart and well read and with particular points of interest that I'd do my own reading on that I could throw at the teachers.
I was just joking - your original comment I'm sure struck a bell with a lot of folks around here including me. :)
