What strikes me as bizarre about you... er, that should be "exceedingly
bizarre" since nearly everything about you is somewhat bizarre... is your
repeated focus on high school diplomas. One is obviously not needed if a
person is intelligent and a bit of an autodidact.

This is what lots of people say who flunk. However, if they're
actually intelligent, they should have no trouble excelling in their
studies.

I excelled in high school and college (Dean's list), but was bored by most
of the classes, which moved with incredible slowness.

Since most classroom time
is wasted while the slowest learners are attended to, most high school
classes are boring and frustrating to those of some ability. Yet you seem
to
wish all teens to be doomed to this experience, which dulls the mind and
stifles creativity... why is that?

The most talented students don't allow themselves to be frustrated and
bored, and usually have no trouble pursuing studies at whatever rate
is best for them.

Sitting in a class waiting for the dolts to "get it" is very frustrating. In
the end, it was not worth it.
