Well, I accept your direct experience as being more reliable than my
casual observations. I may be giving credit for a veneer of
sophistication and computer smarts more weight than deserved.
I would have taken your offer to pass the class and take the rest of
the semester off. I remember starting new high school classes, reading
the assigned books in a few days and then being bored silly for many
weeks thereafter. Acted up, make smart-alecky comments, was basically
a "bad" student for the rest of the term.
Of course being allowed to stay home from school would have meant
mostly doing more farm work for my father or hiring out to neighbors.
So high school was a social lark, more fun, less work than not being
there.
And I did enjoy P.E. classes, organized sports, men's choir and acting
in school plays.
