> thinking that anyone with extra learning are punishing everyone else in class
I never said this and do not think this.
I was attempting to provide more nuance to the situation and evidently failed.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say that starting a conversation by calling someone a prick is just not going to be received well. at. all.
how about teachers should be much less aggrieved that an elementary student is probably smarter than they are. when a student shows initiative to learn something on their own, rather than being an ignorant person and send the kid to the principal's office because they think the kid made a bomb or is learning maths at a pace faster than the hayseed teacher is.
see, that whole paragraph has a point that would probably be made much more acceptable if I didn't phrase it in an insulting manner
it's people like you that are pricks for thinking that anyone with extra learning are punishing everyone else in class. it's never a problem for keeping students ready to advance faster than the rest of class keeping them all held back at the slower pace.
you're also a prick for assuming the way the conversation came about. you're a prick for not thinking that the conversation was about how math can be fun where things that are simple and considered basic can be different and more advanced where 1+1=2 can also be 1+1=10. but now, you just go off and assume i'm a dick saying 1+1=2 is wrong and the correct answer is 1+1=10 or whatever nonsense led you to thinking i'm a prick.
