When I was in high school, I drank a lot. My friends and I also got high before school most days. It made school more tolerable. One time I parked in the principal's parking space just so I was made to get out of class and move it. I did most of my learning outside of school, like when my friends and I built a log cabin without adult supervision. In school, we were expected to learn 3 things: (1) to be on time (2) to tolerate boredom, (3) to submit to authority.
