Hidden Racial Anxiety in an Age of Waning Racism

35. I never knew there were lower standards because i was in the 99th percentile nationwide.

I never guessed that. It doesn't bother me because i am an abberation, my father was in engineering and highly intelligent and my mother was a gifted child testing on college level by the time she was 8. I assumed school was easy for everyone and that they all did what i did. Get the text book on the first day of school, read them all the first night, and do all the easy assignments the first week, and save the harder ones for when the teacher was explaining the lesson so that classwork time could be spent reading a real book or telling jokes. I did my class work and homework during the lesson. Then i passed it around so that we could have fun.
I never experienced lower standards, i was the standard.
