That's because you went in with the wrong attitude! I treated high school as a social event, not a learning event. I didn't like being there for other than social or athletic initiatives, so doing well academically was essentially irrelevant in the grand scheme of things for 4 years, which I only realized after the fact.

I had to stand out in the hall a lot. I always wondered why the teachers would choose that line of work in the first place, because they seemed like aging adults who still had adolescent issues of their own going on which had never been resolved since they themselves were students. I started asking those teachers why they would choose a line of work that would put them right back in that dark, ominous place we all try to escape from, which is why I ended up standing out in the hall a lot.
