re: Hardest class or topic you had in high school?

AP English Literature. The hardest class I've ever taken in my lifem. I think the teacher got a sense of satisfaction in making that class unnecessarily difficult.

One day she brought a king cake to class and told us we could have a piece once we finished our quiz. Our quiz was 5 questions. Took 7 handwritten pages front to back. No one finished in time to eat the cake.

Aced an exam and had one question that I didn't answer in as great of detail and she marked it wrong just so I wouldn't get a perfect score. Only one other student got a perfect score in line the last 5 years
