When I was in high school (in the late 90s), we only had a C programming class. I took this class with 10 other students, who were all in the top 10 GPA of our school. I was the only one that wasn't and the teacher, who was also the calc teacher, would constantly think that I was cheating/copying other students because I couldn't possibly write code better than his top calc students.
One time, I helped one of the students in class (I had been writing C code since I was 12). The student decided to outright copy my work and just change the variable names (they were so lazy, they couldn't even bother to change anything).
I didn't know this until after everything had been turned in and the teacher confronted both of us. I told him what must have happened and I got a C and the other student got a B. The other student was one of his calc students. I would have gotten a perfect grade otherwise.
I also remember I would get negative behavior scores (we were scored from 1-5), from this teacher. When I asked why, he would tell me it was because I didn't ask him enough questions. He spent the entire class flirting with the girls and was pretty much useless when it came to help.
I realized high school was bullshit after this.
