Briefly it was our school and a bunch of other schools compeating about who'se got better students.

Man it doesn't sound like you have it too bad. I was on suicide watch from my second year until I finished secondary because of one stupid comment I made when another kid killed himself "He's better off". I had nothing but patronizing semisympathy from the nice teachers and overbearing intrusion into my personal life from the mean ones.
I know you're not looking but the best way to fuck with mean teachers is to always act oblivious to their meanness and refer to them on a first name basis and be really friendly.

I was a perfect student in school.

And by perfect, I mean "did enough work to pass with the grades I wanted and was well-behaved enough to be ignored by the teachers", which then gave me a free hand to do my own thing as I wanted.  Because I was the archtype of a good student, I got away with things no-one else could, which suited me just fine.

Only one teacher ever caught onto what I was doing, and he entirely approved, since he was gaming the school system in a similar way, to his financial benefit.

I was always slightly concerned about parents evening, because some teachers will always take an irrational dislike to you, no matter how non-confrontational and good at the subject you are, but it never amounted to anything.

He surely was punished for his political inquiries by genetically altering him into a c00kie with a super laz0r taht also sent him back in time.

I didn't go to school, and I did whatever I wanted all the time.

Which, quite frankly, isn't as awesome as it might sound. Most of the time what I wanted involved hiding in the woods, killing things and eating them raw. Adapting to civilized life took some doing.

Why not? It's pretty funny, in retrospect.

Parent/teacher conferences exist to ensure that feelings of anxiety and inferiority are instilled in childen in the home as well as in the school system.  This makes for meek, compliant adults that are glad to have any job, no matter how dismal and unrewarding.

Living example over here! *raises hand* Oh yes indeed, I'm the sheeple for you if you want to look at someone made meek and compliant by the Machine. Ask anyone.

Yup.

Didn't have to do too much to keep a 3.5 average (out of 4, for you non-GPA-using folks), so instead of pushing for th 4.0, I used my free time in much more interesting ways.  My grades, plus my complely non-offensive mode of dress, made it possible for me to get away with just about anything.

It's even funnier if you grew up in a town with a "wolf girl" in the woods.

Really. :lulz:

YAAAY! The physics teacher kept repeating how good where my grades in physics. The French teacher was very satisfied with my succes. The math teacher explained that I applied all the formulas correctly, just that I made stupid mistakes like replacing a - with a +. And even the teachers in the classes I suck at where happy, because I got a first place on a contest that was very imortant to the school and therefore they thought that my insuccesses in their classes where caused by me spending a lot of time preparing for the contest. So HELL YEAH! I get to keep my fun things, and my mom was really happy that all the teachers told her how important my first place at the contest was to the school  :banana:

:lulz:  Another valuable lesson learned in school: politics take precedence.
