Here my two cents, more accurate my dad's, who never finished high school and was obvious more knowledgable than my teachers.
I tell this story all the time to show how educators priority are screwed up.
My parents got called into school because of my behavior in class, I was in 5th grade. The teacher told my parents I was disturbing the class and my classmates. They said I talked all the time and they could not get me to stop.
My dad asked, how was I doing and my grades.
They said my grades were great and was doing well.
My dad next question was, the kids I was talking to how were their grades.
The teachers answers was something like well they are not doing as well as me.
My dad simply said shouldn't they be having this conversation with those kids and their parents since they are not doing so well. Maybe if those kids didn't talk to me, then I would not be disturbing the class and they would be doing better in school.
He also said stop making other people's problems his, he got up and walked out and said to me keep doing what you're doing since I was doing so well.
