Don't worry, Jerry. We're not only laughing, we're pointing too!

I always got an A/gold star in handwriting - printing and cursive. I was best in class.
The effect of this repeated affirmation by the teacher is that people tell me I now (at near-38) write with the neat, largish handwriting of a 9 year old.
Getting an "A" (or an "F") isn't all it's cracked up to be in the scheme of life.

We didn't have "Gym"; we had "Sports". I was good at sports too (except for running), but that's because "Sports" was almost exclusively swimming. I swam like a fish...to such an extent that my nickname for several years actually
was "Fish" (perhaps the fish the blue one is next to?).

For me:
1. Economics
Of most any subject, throw economics in any of its variations and applications at me, and all I hear is white noise. The whole thing just comes across to me like a bizarre, absurd, convoluted, illogical construct.
We prefer "gay" or "homosexual".

I was always liked by teachers, and was frequently "Teacher's Pet". This goes along with being inordinately quiet and getting the answers right: a "good student". There were many "great minds" I knew as class-friends growing up that weren't "good students". I've always hoped their brilliance wasn't permanently winked-out by teachers who saw a quiet aptitude for remembering by rote as a (A)plus and uncontainable creation and side-stepping logical theorising as "disruptive".
