Not killing anyone while I was there. Seriously, I know a fair few bullies that required the attention of sharp objects, but luckily I'm too lazy to waste time disposing of bodies.

Nothing I did in school counts as an achievement. Even completing school was merely an overwrought formality. I consider the whole period of my schooling and my first attempt at higher education as mostly useless.
I agree school sucks. I don't use anything I learned in college in my career (I'm a self-taught programmer).

Schools are basically government indoctrination camps to make good consumers. They don't teach you how to think, they teach you what to think (i.e.: memorization of government approved "facts").

The reason they don't teach critical thinking is because then everyone would see through all the bullshit propaganda we're bombarded with on a daily basis (at least in the USA).

I still got some years left, but so far I've managed to convince my Math teacher to rise my grades by showing him my Wiremod contraptions in Garry's Mod.

Either that or when I recreated my school as an RPG.

Probably either:

Flat out not writing my paper for my AP physics midterm but still getting an A in the class and a five on the AP exam.

Doing well in the hardest math class offered in my high school despite taking it a year earlier than everyone else and being the youngest person in my grade.

Completely messing around and building a card tower in one of my classes instead of paying attention to the teacher, and when she called me out on it I correctly answered all of her questions on what she was explaining to the class. Most of the class that was actually taking notes didn't even know what was going on. She was so surprised she left the class and went and got another teacher just to tell him about it.

I was the only sixth year at my high school to ever be put on a behaviour timetable; a record that still stands, as far as I'm aware.

Hm. One of them was taking the AP German test after only learning German for a year and a half and despite the fact that we had no AP German class at our school...I just prepared for it on my when I was bored in Yearbook and used the knowledge I had gathered on my own during the past year. I got a 4 on it, so I got to skip the 200 level of German at college. It was a good day.

I got 100% for my A-level electronics coursework, then got an award for it from the college, I put far too much effort into that project, but really worth it in the end.

Getting a 5 on the AP Physics exam. So much work was put into that.

That's also probably one of my biggest disappointments now as well, though, as my college won't accept the credits for my major, which renders the credits useless.

Getting the best GCSEs in my school was pretty nice.

That and getting 98% in my Maths GCSE 7 months early after spending the whole year playing Pokémon with a buddy, with teams nicknamed after our favourite rappers. Probably helped to be honest, we were pretty hardcore with it. Fucking Aggron (Scarface)!!!

The only ones I can think of are from middle school. I remember:

-Scoring the highest on the DRP out of the school.
-Getting 4's in every category on my PWA (Provo Writing Assessment; you write a persuasive essay and are judged out of 4 on several different categories). On a different, but similar test, I got a 6/6 grade.
-I once won an iTunes gift card in a contest with something wrote out of my ass.

I'm pretty sure those are the only achievements I've earned throughout my entire scholastic career.

I know. I mean, fuck. Some classes don't even bother pretending otherwise. Computer Technology is an excellent example. All you do is sit at your computer and type up reports, letters, etc. according to a set of directions. They basically say, "This is what we're actually training you to do, because we expect you to grow up into just another guy in another cubicle in another office. Don't think about what you're doing, don't think about the nothing you've become, don't think about how much you hate your fucking job. Just think of the shiny new TV you want, just think about the car that will make you the envy of all your friends, just think about the rent you've gotta pay and the paper we have that'll let you pay it..."
The class devours my fucking soul. My mind rebels at stagnation.
