You probably listened and remembered what teachers said as well as knew the basic concept behind whatever was being taught which is really all you need to know. As well as not bombing a test because "what if I fail omg

" syndrome
All I know is, school was a joke.
I slept all day everyday unless there was a test or quiz.
Grades were as follows:
5% Homework
10% Classwork
35% Quizzes
50% Tests
It was such in almost all my classes with slight variation. So I typically had a B in each class unless I just didn't care and ended up with a C.
My grade would tank to an F the first couple of weeks and slowly pick up.
It was great, mostly with the math teachers, when they'd ask why I wasn't doing work and I would tell them what I was doing. "NO, you can't do that, you won't pass that way."
I'd point to their syllabus or w/e it is that has grades and such on it "You're a math teacher, if I score 100% on each of these tests and quizzes, what does that leave me with?"
They'd then get mad at me and be out to get me for a short time before they realized I was really smart and then it was "Hey Jason, you wanna do the answer key for the test? 10 extra points!"
I remember some black kid bitching one day while I was sleep, you know that state of sleep where you're sleeping but still alert to what is going on around you? Don't wanna get hit by paper balls or anything. Anyways, he was bitching about how I was always sleeping and he was busting his ass and had a lower grade than me. My teacher just shrugged and said "What can I say, dude is smart.".
I miss school =(
Man, on a kinda related note, how many different ways did you know to sleep in class if you did at all?
Basic Head down, One arm propping up your face so it looked like you were reading, Two, The "LOOK MA NO HANDS!" (smashed my face once mastering that one), Locking your legs and sleeping standing up(normally in a corner, I fell once though lolol), The "Lazy Boy", and the "Hiding in the admin office sleeping on the floor". No one ever looks for you there!
