See, I was that kid in school. I had to figure out how to do my real work fast enough to permit me to read what I wanted.
I got lucky, though. At a crucial point in my early education I got a teacher who let me do whatever I wanted, provided I did the assignments. I remember once someone complained that I was reading something else while the teacher was talking, that it wasn't fair, and the teacher said, "It's okay because I know he can do two things at once."
