YES! Oh man, I could have written nearly every word of that (except I did like recess). I actually started going through and spelling each word in a desperate attempt to go as slowly as the people reading aloud and I STILL got ahead.
However, after I got in trouble enough times for "not following along" and "not paying attention" they decided that I could be Gifted - which meant that I went to a special room three times a week and got to read an actually good book and discuss things in a slightly more sophisticated manner than "So, What Was That Plot?"
Unfortunately, they timed it so that I would go to Gifted, then come back just in time for reading aloud. UGH.
