yes, a lot, but my use tapered-off over the first year at university. i wasn't used to actually...doing work.

i was constantly in the mindset of "holy shit how the fuck did i get here working for this world-renowned badass in particle physics?" weed would convert my stress into pretty bad anxiety... i'd feel really guilty about not studying, i'd be paranoid of what my research adviser really thinks about me, etc. i just had to cut it.

soon, whenever i felt the craving to smoke, i would try to substitute it with studying... turns out that was a much better use of time.

>>3683747
Of course I'm not American. But your school system encourages competitiveness between students (while my school system encourages equal opportunities, for example, advanced classes for high-scoring students would be illegal) how the hell can you be competitive if you are not allowed to study ahead of others?

It's mindboggling, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Finished the whole math book ahead of time and noticed it never cover the possibility of a number blow 0. So I addressed this issue and presented my finding as a report which I called "Subtractive Numbers" in hopes of getting input for others as to how validate such an idea was and to nullify the teachers argument that she used to crush my discovery of long addition for numbers involving 5, earlier I found a pattern that consistently worked (I figured out how to multiple by 5, although I did not know at the time). Well I passed them around at recess hoping for peer input before I brought it to the teacher as she had rejected some other ideas under the grounds nobody else talked about them. This way people will talk and she would have to listen to me. By the end of the day I was in the main office with my mom, my teacher and the principal. Apparently there was talk of expulsion as I was actively undermining the education system, which was partly true. It can down to the principal telling me if I spoke of this madness again I would not get recess. The next year in 2nd grade I learn about negative numbers and was furious, but said nothing as I wanted my recess privileges.

Grade school was easy mode for me. I usually got A/B grades by acing tests with minimal studying and doing little homework. However, reading and history were the bane of my existence. Either you did the assigned reading or you didn't, and it showed on tests. I just didn't give a fuck in middle school.

what is this thing where you people had your reading speed tested in terms of Words Per Minute? and why are the scores you give insanely low? I am pretty sure even the dumbest kid in my 3rd grade reading class would top 60 words per minute, even if he read the words out loud.

I swear I will punch that bitch so hard in the face if I ever see her again.

I swear, what the fuck is wrong with teachers. Are they afraid they'll lose their jobs if they don't keep control of every arbitrary thing in class, even if it means holding kids back? Fuck equal opportunity. Physics doesn't work that way. Steam and condensation will still escape from a pot of simmering water, even though the whole thing isn't gaseous water.

Are you weak as shit? I can sing for 10 hours in a day for a week and my voice is absolutely fine.

>>3689418
Drinking uses a wider range of tones than speaking normally does and only stresses specific parts for the duration. Also, I assume you have drinks in that period while he did not.

>>3689426

Different countries, different school systems. Also, we're talking about elementary school here. Where I grew up (Belgium), there are no such things as advanced classes in public schools. There are schools for the gifted kids which are far as fuck, but in general, kids who were a smarter than average (not gifted) were placed in normal public schools.

>>3689626
I'd like to second the notion this is complete bullshit. It helps nobody and is purely a cost cutting measure.

I got 100% on every single one of those every single time up until they stopped doing them in grade 7. Felt good.

>Around maybe 4th or 5th grade, I don't remember exactly, I learned about very basic atomic structure.

>She never said how it ties into what we were learning about. Even today I can only speculate.

>>3689631

Well, placing smart kids in public schools helps the taxpayers wallets. Even though a lot of potential can be lost because of smart kids having to go at a much slower pace than they can handle.

>>3683516

Yeah, it is a load of shit. I always went ahead in work and I did work question by question because it was logical. The bitch always wanted us to read it all over before we stared, she would read the instructions and I would always be done before she finished explaining anything. She was always mad. Another time she told us all to get our text books from our lockers or cupboards before we come into class. I forget and the bitch says I cannot get it even though we need these charts in order to do the test. I have a photographic memory and the bitch didn't know it, I got 100% on the test using my memory of the pages and when she handed me that 100% I could tell she was mad.

Wrongly diagnosing kids with ADD and ADHD is the way the world deals with kids that are really bored in school. School is fun when you are learning, sadly those fucking retards use a conveyor belt system and assume I should be grouped by age and not intelligence.

>>3687829

I cannot remember for the life of me but I realized that during estimations that the problem would exponentially become more skewed and I came a formula to solve this issue in 3rd grade, the teacher never even cared.
