We often had classical reading exercises where one student is tasked to read a text and at some point another student would be pointed at to take over. I was a pretty fast reader at the time and class was soooooo slow, and I figured I wouldn’t be called upon, because I had to do it the week before already, so I was ahead quite a bit in the text and there was 1 sentence that got repeated in the text.
You can guess the rest, I get called upon, my neighbour whispers the first few words of that one repeated sentence and I start reading from the wrong instance that sentence appeared. The entire class confused.
That happened to me every time. I’m sure the teacher knew I read ahead so he just did it to embarrass me. It’s so weird, though, why punish someone for reading?
I was ahead with reading during Dutch class.

Got me detention that day.
