I was infamous for reading in class in grade school when I was supposed to be listening to the teacher. We had desks that didn't close all the way, but left a 6" or so gap open, so it was quite easy to put a book in there and lean back just so so I could peer in and read, while looking like I was studying my worksheet instead. :D
And the reading section of classes were laughable - I had usually read the whole reading textbook by the first week of class, including the extra stories in the back. Obviously this did nothing to help me pay attention or participate during the actual reading lessons for the rest of the year!
I feel kind of sorry for my teachers now that I look back on it, heh.
