I never even graduated college. I never finished learning, as it were, and I have a psychological need to be in a learning environment at all times.

I've never been a big believer in formal education.

I was never an A student, but I was really well behaved until I was 13 or so.

I've always been a huge proponent for education; I graduated high school at 14 years old and graduated college at 17 years old.

I taught sixth grade for three and a half years.

I pretty much left full-time, formal education when I was 11, so that was when I was taken out of the school system... The longest stretch I would go back for was a term and a half when I was about 14.

I started the class late. The teacher said I would have to learn as much in half a year that the others learned in a year. I did it.

When I was seven, I had to stay home for several weeks because of some ailment, whereupon my father elected to teach me so that I should not fall behind. In fact, he taught me in three months as much as the school taught in two years, so, on returning to school, I was shifted from grade 4 to grade 6.
