That's a really funny story, since that girl basically said that she hated you because you were smarter than her - which is rather hilarious when you think about it. "Screwing up the test curves" - what a load of ****...
Memory: My largest regret, academically, was an exam in Biology when I was 16. It was on the female reproductive system and I had spoken of cycle and pregnancy. I knew I ought to start talking contraceptives now, but couldn't get the words out, didn't find a good place to start. My teacher asked: "So, what about the pill?" I went "Yes, of course" and spoke for the rest of the time without needing more prompting. I got 11 for that. It's like an A, perhaps somewhere between A and A+, really. And then my teacher said: "You'd have done a lot better if I hadn't had to ask you that question." There's only one grade above 11 and that's 13 - the true A+ - and I've regretted that moment of hesitation since.
