Hey.. Wolfshades…
That’s so funny: I really noticed how I could figure out the teacher’s personality and viewpoint, then incorporate that into my crappy unstudied answers and still pull off a passing grade – talk about snow jobs! Especially worked with history teachers if you could figure out their political leanings 
I used to get our PE/Algebra teacher to talk about his pro-tennis son instead of boring us to tears with algebra – I actually passed the class that time (after flunking out on the first try). I guess some people probably would have been better off hearing the algebra lecture…
Then I managed to just skim by with my HS diploma by claiming I needed glasses and that’s why I had gotten behind – not because I was skipping class helping build sets in the drama dept. I’ll never understand how I got away with that one…
It’s funny yet somehow shameful… I always blamed the system and refused to accept the laziness label… but no matter where the blame was placed, the problem wasn’t being dealt with!
