I spent a lot of time in grade school suspended from after lunch recess because I would keep asking questions.

Should I laugh or cry? Schooling and education are not synonymous. In fact, they're usually opposed.

I guess I turned out ok. I had a few great teachers in high school. One actually encouraged us to ask questions like "What would the light from a headlight look like on a motor bike going close to the speed of light?". We spent a week on the theory behind the light speed equations (in 9th grade) and then he actually dug up a reference about why the beam would look rather odd.

But that teacher was the odd one. Most didn't like any dissent from the lesson plan.
