I quickly learned how to game my high school math teacher's grading system. I was a genius at math and could do 1 or two new problems and completely understand how to solve that type of problem.

My teacher scored a homework assignment for 3 points of the final total of points. A quiz was 10 points. A test was 100 points.

Since I could ace the quizzes and tests with every answer correct, I figured out I only had to do enough of the homework to make sure I knew the problems. I would get one point for the assignment. Whenever she gave extra credit assignment, I did that.

It always burned her butt that I would come out with a low B for the final grade.
