    Reminds me of a time where I shortened the code for pointers in c++ at age 15, so quite old, and my teacher said it wouldn’t work (we didn’t have computers in that class, next class we would type the code and execute it in computer lab). Anyway I said it’d work, he said it would never work, I said well we can test it next class and teacher said we can’t waste time in computer lab like that, and I said I will ask principal for extratime in computer lab after school to prove that my code works. I got sent to principals office anyway for rude and unruley behavior and not only did I get scolded for trying to embarrass my teacher, I wasn’t granted extra time in the lab either. Next time in lab I managed to write the shorter code and get same results and I called teacher to show my code works, he just unplugged the cable and sent me to principals office again.

    Luckily this time they called my parents and my mom unleashed hell on them threatening with talking to press and media and name and shame the teacher and principal for being stupider than a student is when they stopped harassing me.

    And I quit paying attention in that class, I got bad marks for low class participation but hey I had already stopped giving fucks at that point.

      Ohh lol i just wrote c instead of c++. It was so low level anyway that i could just write clean c and it usually compiled as c++. But thst was already in highschool for me where they actually gave a fuck about us unlike in primary.
