For 6th grade in 1983, I moved to the California suburbs with family. The kids were a lot more mature than where I came from; fighting, light drug use, sex, etc. I got bullied pretty bad. One day a kid picked on me before lunch and I had enough. I punched him and we got into a fight in front of the whole grade. I won that fight and the principal punished me because of it, not the kid that started it. My punishment was to tutor kids in a grade lower on the only TRS-80 in the school. I figured out the flashcard games were written in BASIC and could ctrl-C out of them. The correct answers were in an array at the end of the program. I rewrote it so that it skipped the array check and always returned correct. The kids I was tutoring got all correct answers and thought I was a god.
