My parents were told I had it but they chose to ignore it fearing what others would think of them. May they rot.
My senior year I had 104 in computer science, a 99 in physics and a 100 in typing. In algebra I had a 75 and 72 in English. Somehow my parents blamed the teachers. It never occurred to them that the math for algebra and physics overlaps a lot. It didn’t occur to my algebra teacher either.
“a pleasure to have in class, but needs to apply herself”
Replace her with him and one of my school reports literally had that word for word lmfao.
“Has a lot of potential” got used a lot
“He easily deserves a B but he could get an A if he applied himself. I’ll just give him a C so he tries harder”
“It’s no use, I push him as far as I could”

I got that a lot, along with “has poor impulse control”… Bitches, if you only knew what impulses I was controlling…
My partner got that on hers.
I got a mix of that and “a pleasure to have in class, but needs to work on not distracting others”
How I went 31 years with no raised eyebrows is funny to me, so many red flags attributed to being “quirky” or “eccentric”.
Thanks for the flashbacks.
