I remember in high school the only things I ever learned well were things that weren't taught there, or that I'd learned myself before going in. I'm still trying to recover from the hit I took in subjects like math and physics; I loved both when I was younger. Like many others I happened to be lucky to have discovered computers before going into high school, or I know AP Computer Science would've killed those for me too (haven taken it). College dropout now. School's never "worked" for me. But I was born into a family where blindly grades were everything, and I'm pretty sure this had more of a negative than positive effect on me.
