[quote=Anonymous]I am a smart person who always hated school after about sixth grade.  I started high school with the idea that there would be some grand exchange of ideas and deep discussion, until my teachers got tired of me asking so many questions and I realized they were teaching to the test/lowest common denominator.

I was a very radical kid in a very conservative, conventional environment and did not fit in.  I tried to ally with some popular girls. And I was able to because I was passably pretty.  Until they turned on me and made up some weird rumor about me.

I dropped out in the beginning of twelfth grade.

I was able to claw myself up in due time, going on to earn two degrees, but I really dislike the American educational system.  I keep a close eye on my own kids and their learning environments.  If I had my druthers, I’d probably homeschool (actually unschool, which is a much better concept in my opinion) but I think so much success hinges on learning this structure that schools provide.
