Computer class was hard for those of us who grew up in an era where technology meant putting a quarter in an arcade machine or making a collect call. It was like all of a sudden the educational system realized that these bizarre toys for nerds would soon rule the future and they threw us all into the deep end.

I took programming in highschool in '87. Had to take Fortran and turbo pascal. One example of homework was the 500 steps to screw in a lightbulb. For example, step one: wakeup. Step two: sit up in bed. Etc. Had to detail everything.

AP English Literature. The hardest class I've ever taken in my lifem. I think the teacher got a sense of satisfaction in making that class unnecessarily difficult.

One day she brought a king cake to class and told us we could have a piece once we finished our quiz. Our quiz was 5 questions. Took 7 handwritten pages front to back. No one finished in time to eat the cake.

Aced an exam and had one question that I didn't answer in as great of detail and she marked it wrong just so I wouldn't get a perfect score. Only one other student got a perfect score in line the last 5 years
