I certainly had recess less than one-third as much as others did. It became an IDGAF situation, where the teachers, principals, etc would assign punishments and I'd ignore them into high school. I went to detention but a few times, though it was frequently assigned. My grades were mostly great to flawless and I was written off as "an attitude problem." I usually responded to that phrase with "give me a reason to give a ****" and they would either assign more punishments or, and more usually and with exasperation, retract them entirely. I know they'd given up on punishing me, as I would leave class to get coffee or snacks from the teachers' lounge several times a week and the soda machines were never made off-limits to me. I came and went to the parking lots when I wanted, as long as nobody "saw me." They ignored is what they did. I was also bullied throughout school. I wonder how all this dynamic would be if anything had been even slightly different or more different. But, I accept it as all being the past.
