This is how I got into programming as well, creating programs for my TI-84 that helped me cheat on math tests. The watershed point for me was figuring out how to archive programs so that a "2nd+7+1+2" reset wouldn't delete what I'd created. Frustrated the teachers to no end as well, I'd never do my homework but get A's on all of my tests/quizzes. I guess I was too busy learning the material to cheat, instead of doing the homework... I eventually got caught when I started giving the programs to popular kids so they would include me in stuff, luckily I had written a failsafe that deleted the cheats, but left some games I had (even at 14 I knew how confusing false positives can be). I got in trouble for playing games, the popular kids got in trouble for cheating. I wasn't included in much for a while after that...
