Ha, oh yes. I got pretty good at keeping track of where the class was, I don't recall getting in trouble particularly. But I do remember being frustrated really early on that the other kids didn't read *with expression*. And then I got put into gifted and talented streams in grade 4, and in general the teachers from then on were encouraging of self-directed activity.
I lived in the library over lunchtime too. Oh! And once in grade 5 my teacher was all concerned that I wasn't challenging myself in reading level, because I enjoyed reading Zilpha Keatley Snyder books over and over again. So I randomly picked up and read the Odyssey(although I nearly got thrown off by the introduction... god that was boring... and I hadn't yet realized it was acceptable to skip such things), which put an end to those worries.
