How about not put the kid in a box of any sort?

My biggest problem is the extreme boredom from the empty environment that I face as an overly curious Aspie trapped in a school with teachers who seem more concerned with what is easiest for them rather than what is best for me. Last month my math teacher only assigned us one problem per day so that he could watch the "Final Four" on the smart board during class. Rather than act out, I’ve learning to cope with the boredom by developing a reflex to zone out and become lost in my own thoughts to escape mentally. I keep very still and relax and visualize myself addressing complex conflicts and resolving them. I only hope that these endurance skills will serve me well in adult life.


Reminds me of coach Rehagen from my high school physical science class. The second he got a student teacher he went into the back room to re-watch OLD football games, leaving the poor young lady who still wasn't 100% sure what she was doing hung out to dry. You heard right, re-watch, as in games he had already seen before!! !

When I confronted him about it in a subsequent year about it, his reply was "she was there to teach", to which I answered "No, she was there to learn to teach. There's a big difference!

He also once kicked me out of his class for asking a question. Just one question!

The sad thing is he wasn't even the worst one I had.

Something similar happened to me, but it was at Catholic school. I had lost literally one too many gold stars (the last one before the party due to my excitement) and had to sit in the corner of the room behind a cubicle while the rest of the class watched Aladdin and ate pizza. The torture was magnified by the fact that pizza is my favorite food and I had skipped lunch for this event, just to sit there and smell it and hear the movie from behind the walls. It wasn't particularly scarring, but I recall it very well and my self-esteem was already somewhat low by then. I would probably confront that teacher and give them a piece of my mind if I ever see them again though.

I consider the whole education system pretty much incompetent aside from very dedicated teachers (probably 10% or less of the teachers I encountered). If I am to ever have children, I would likely homeschool them and hire a math tutor. Social interaction is one thing I'm not really sure how to integrate though unless my friends have children.
