I think I was about 10 when I had a teacher that was just furious anytime I read when I wasn't supposed to. I eventually figured out that the problem wasn't that I was reading - it was that my non conformity was making more work for HER, because she had to check up on me instead of assuming I was doing what I was told like a good little child thing, and she seriously resented it! To which my reaction was, well if you hate paying attention to kids, and you don't like it when they're exceeding the stated learning goals when your job is to HELP THEM LEARN, then why in the world are you teaching?!
I developed a remarkably bad attitude towards school after that (and other like experiences), which I'm sad to say I still haven't gotten over. Which might explain why I'm currently finishing the last 8 credits of a BA in Theatre at the age of 30....
