My own favorite "horror" story of public school occurred in 8 th grade:
In a science class, I always got 100% on the tests, I knew the material.
(Whether it was simple or I am smart I won't speculate at this late date).
Anyway, even tho I fully knew the material, as demonstrated by test scores,
the teach insisted that I do the homework assignments. I stubbornly
refused, feeling it was a waste of time.  As an analogy, whats the point
of writing the multiplication tables 50 times if you have already
memorized them?  Anyway, the upshot was that the teach insisted that
the office call my parent(s) into school for a "talk".
