 I suspect, m'dear, that you may be like my son: brilliant but too much in tune with his own drummer to satisfy the grading/marking requirements.


Later in life when I learned my IQ, I was astounded. I hated
school, despised homework and tests and especially hated
term papers in high school, college, etc. My thesis was
a joke, from my point of view, so I may be like your son
marching to my own drummer. Yet I love learning, as on
this site, so many things to absorb, but school was
Yeaaach! Never did figure out why I went into education
as a teacher.
