I had this problem but didn&#x27;t see an easy fix.<p>I could have gone to a school for the gifted, but I wanted to be with normal people, not the over achievers (friends that went later told me my worries where justified). At some point I just decided to minimize all school effort and did my own thing as good as I could, but hated school since 2nd or 3rd grade.<p>I dropped from winning some math competition every now and than to the lowest mark that got me through, but I would do it this way again.<p>I&#x27;m happy with whom (not what) I have become, a thing surprisingly few can say.
