As I recall from my time in public schooling institutions, the presence of students that really didn&#x27;t want to be there taught me mostly two things.<p>1) &#x27;Respect my authoritah&#x27; (from (some) of those running the place, but enough that it was learned)<p>2) What I imagine (and thankfully have never verified!) are the skills necessary to survive in jail.<p>Everything else I learned by reading ahead in the books, or from science programming before those television channels became infected with reality TV nonsense.
