re: #578 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

My parents could not afford a private school, and I was so underchallenged in the Gary, Indiana, public school system wthat they skipped me up from the first to the third grade. Which went fine until I hit Jr. high, already a year behind my classmates and a late pubertizer at that, I really had problems.

i especially recall an advanced chemistry class i took: the only sophomore (freshman aged) in a class full of juniors and seniors.

In a class of my peers, my obnoxious behavior might not have stood out as much, but as it was, the teacher came to hate me and made be sit behind the extractor hood so he would not have to even look at me…
