    Lmao what’s up with teachers getting mad at little kids reading faster than they should?! I have similar experience where the whole class was supposed to read one book together, like a chapter per week at home. At that point I was a major fantasy nerd and could read several books per week, so imagine the agony when the book was actually good! I gave up pretty quickly and just read it, and the teacher was so angry. I didn’t get in any more trouble than that either, though. I guess you’d have to be a really bad teacher to actually punish a kid for reading, even if you get mad at your plans getting ruined

      Yeah it’s weird. Like you have the lesson plans, just give the kids that are ahead the next section.

      Luckily we had a cool music teacher, she saw that I lacked music capabilities so just let me bring a book to read in class. After a while there was two of us reading at a desk while rest of the class played three blind mice for the 100th time LOL.
