When I was forced (lack of funds) to go to public school during sophmore
year, after the previous years (from kindergarten on) in private schools.
They were teaching stuff in my sophmore and junior years of public school
that I had already learned as far back as 7th grade.  Talk about being bored
off my ass!

Agreed.  My parents instituted "homework time" after school.  Before any
other activites were performed, all studying and homework was finished.
They both took an active level of participation in our schoolwork..
