All my teachers loved me
"I know you're smart but" was a constant refrain of my school days, usually followed by "but you need to apply yourself"
I was never very funny, funny enough.
[leg shakes table and everyone asks what's doing that]
I once sat in on a parent/teacher meeting with my brother. The teacher lamented that my brother could be doing so much better if he just applied himself.
He had a 96 in the course. You know how much better he could do if he applied himself? 4%. Doesn't seem like it would be worth the effort, y'know?
I constantly went head to head with my school's Spanish teacher because I was bored and she was a bitch. Eventually the principal had a meeting with my mom and said, "look, I know your son is smarter than her, but could you ask him to chill a bit?"
"stop playing with that"
