Mine figured out years ago that he could stall almost any activity or bedtime with reading. He's a voracious reader now even without using it as a dodge, so I don't even care that I got wrecked by a six year old
I got an email home from Evan's teacher because she was falling asleep in class and her reason was "because I stayed up all night reading."
Teacher said "I'm all for reading at home but maybe we need to put some guardrails on it."
I got my only detention of my school career in middle school for reading during class. I then had to work with that teacher early in my career, who claimed she would never do such a thing.
I went to a school where we made our own schedules and I guess nobody was checking to make sure I did all the things on the list because I spent 1st and 2nd grade hiding in the library reading
I still suck at times tables
My only detentions were because I had undiagnosed AuDD, and could never remember to bring a pen to class, and my English teacher would give out detentions if you had to borrow materials.
I got in trouble SO many times for reading in class when I finished the assignments early. (I still have no idea why it’s a problem.) My 5th-grade teacher was so exasperated that she assigned me, and only me, to write a 10-page paper about any country I wanted. I chose Mexico.
