That was only really 2nd grade for me, fortunately. Mrs. Turner was a perfectly nice teacher who had NO idea what to do with a gifted kid. Not only did she punish me for finishing assignments quickly by not allowing me to draw or read, she also actively prevented me from finishing my homework in class. Even if I could have easily finished the worksheet in the remaining 10 minutes of class, I had to take it home and do it THERE because otherwise it wasn't HOMEWORK (the stupid still burns, in retrospect). Unsurprisingly, I spent most of that year getting in trouble for stupid things. That was also the year they mysteriously called me down to the library for what turned out to be IQ testing :P
