I had a maths teacher who accused me of cheating because we had coursework to solve a particular problem, I solved the problem for that case and then the general case using math she hadn’t taught me even had a pascal program that you could enter parameters and it’d give you the answer.

She literally couldn’t get her head around a student going to the library, taking out a book on maths and teaching themselves because they where curious.

The UK has a very strange educational system, curiosity isn’t encouraged, you learn like a good little peg in a round hole.

Left a very bad taste in my mouth but at least she did eventually apologise.
