During grade 9, I would show up til lunch, then spend the rest of the day playing video games at the local Microplay. After grade 9, I was rarely actually AT my High School. If I showed up, it was for the last 2 classes of the day, or to hand in an assignment or write a test. On the rare days I showed up for a full day of High School, I was sleeping at my desk or reading my textbook for the 20th time that year.
I remember one of my teachers woke me up, gave me 2 bucks and told me to go get a coke so I'd stop sleeping in his class, I never slept in his class after that because I earned some respect for him for taking that course of action rather than just yelling at me. He also shared the same last name as me, and we played it off like he was my uncle, and all the students believed us.
Another teacher let me sleep in her class, and would joke with me when I was awake. She seemed to be impressed that even though I didn't do an ounce of homework and was rarely awake in class, I would still regularly ace her tests and assignments. Including 100% on an essay based entirely on a 5-minute discussion that I happened to be awake for in class, placing the blame for the evil committed in Hamlet (in a nutshell, it was everyone's fault based on a chain-reaction of events).
Most teachers gave up on me 2 weeks into the semester and let me do what I wanted, but one in particular spent the entire semester trying to 'get me'. She would wake me up during class to answer some question she thought would have me stumped, but the problem is that I'm not a fucking moron like rest of my class, and I would give her the answer she was looking for every time, she deducted a phantom 5% off my final mark just to screw me out of getting the high mark in her class, bitch.
Mostly I was just always stoned and would rather be at home playing video games. I didn't like the people at my school, the few kids I did like I didn't like enough to give a damn about hanging out with them outside of school. I only went because I was forced to go til I was 16, and I still need 5 credits that I will probably never get because I plan on learning a trade through an apprenticeship program.
I actually went back 2 years ago to finish my 5 credits online. When I asked for my transcript the guidance counselor asked what I needed it for and when she learned I wanted to pick up a trade, she told me not to bother and just go to school as a mature student. I asked her what I needed to qualify as a mature student, she responded "You need to be 19 and out of school for a year." To which I responded "Then why the fuck did I waste my time coming here?" She just laughed and apologized that they aren't allowed to tell their students they can just apply as mature students for trades if that's the path they're taking.
Fuck I hate school.
