How were you in school?

[Retriever II]

When I was in college and working for my old public school's IT department part time, I occasionally ran into old teachers I'd had. I don't remember the specifics about a conversation I was having with my 7th grade math teacher, except that my performance as a student must have come up. I told her "I didn't try very hard". She told me "You didn't try at all".

That sums up my schooling elementary through half of high school. Smart, but didn't want to do the work.
