I remember I wold finish my 5th and 6th grade math tests in 10-15 minutes out of the allotted 60, because the problems were so easy and challenging myself to go as fast as possible was the only way to not be bored.
I'm grateful of my math teacher for both those years for not reprimanding me for my brashness and encouraging me to solve number puzzles (one of those 0-9 tile sudoku-like things with math equations on laminated paper) for the rest of the period every time. RIP I was lucky to have you.
- fma 9y agoIt's funny because in the real world, if the test was a project and you find is he'd in 25% on schedule. You would keep your job and others get fired. But in school, if you go a 100% in 15 minutes and another kid 90% in 60 minutes... You get the same reward. An A.
