I made the mistake of correcting one teacher's spelling once, and she never forgave me. Bitch.

# I had one teacher at primary school who had it in for me.
I was sent to the headmaster's office for such things as pretending to play the guitar, looking in a box, and being stabbed in the leg with a pencil.

# me too
but only by one teacher. mum only realised i was telling the truth after exams, when the headmaster called her in. i'd got the highest marks in the school, yet my teacher was trying to say i only deserved a C grade! fortunately, the whole "use it or lose it" thing seems to include intelligence ;)

# I was once sent to the headmaster
because the English teacher asked me to spell the word "heinous". Unfortunately, the twat pronounced it "anus". Which is what I spelt. Spelled.

# on a similar note,
one time our teacher asked if anyone could think of a professional who doesn't have to retire at 65, and one kid said "a prostitute". It was the most intelligent answer I've ever heard him give, and he got into trouble for it.

it may possibly be construed as a hobby, rather than a profession. Funny tho'.

# hahaha!
i had a home tutor for a year, she was great! took me to chester with her son. better than the school field trip, we had dinner in a posh french restaurant and got to spend ages in the museum!

# I don't really believe in innate genius.
I like the definition that genius takes ten years of dedication to a subject to achieve. I know that this sounds like "experience", but I also don't care.

I was not considered a genius at school, nor was I bullied for my intelligence. But what I do now could be considered to be quite difficult.

# Some are born great,
some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Mind you, if experience is anything to go by, it's the kids that are declared geniuses at a very young age who end up getting nowhere in life. Ambition gets you further than natural ability.

would be in either virology or forensic toxicology.

# Virology is pretty cool. I saw a book called something like 'the encyclopedia of viruses' in a library.
It had some great line drawings of various viral capsid shapes, all geometric and stuff.

Forensic toxicology could be good, too I suppose. Mass-spec, peak analysis, that sort of thing.

# I never had to work hard at anything throughout my entire education, that's my problem.
I'm not accustomed to it. If I'd ever had to struggle to achieve academically, I'd probably have appreciated it a lot more. As it is, the idea of getting good grades just isn't even interesting to me. In all honesty, I'd rather just be normal, and get invited to parties.
