Rules of Survival for the curve-breaker:
1. Get every answer correct. Even if you miss one, act like you didn't. Maybe the teacher won't notice the mistake. Better yet, just don't miss any.
2. Know how to defend yourself, because everyone officially hates you now.
3. Find a human shield of sufficient size to protect you from the angry mob. Utilize this human shield when necessary.
4. Feel free to take advantage of the fact that your teachers now adore you, because they no longer have to 'adjust' the grading scale, and they can be as brutal and straightforward as they wish, when it comes to grading. You've just saved them a LOT of homework.
5. Remind your new enemies that someday they will work for YOU, so they'd be wise not to upset you now. Curve-breakers have been known to make pay-cuts and lay-offs. Make sure that they know this.
6. If they REALLY DON'T CARE...run. Run far and fast.
Of course, I don't adhere to ALL of these rules, but that's 'cause I'm generally a nice person.
Anyway, only one person in the class actually knew what an Andalite was, and we had a very interesting conversation...
until the white-coats came in and dragged me away into a padded room, because I was talking to myself.
(Kidding. Sheesh, gullible people!!)
