I hear you there - I got in trouble consistently in middle and high school for reading during class. Getting in trouble ... for reading a book. That always astounded me.

At least until my teachers figured out that they couldn't stop me from doing it, and I could listen to their lectures and read at the same time, so it didn't matter anyway.

Plus, I was the librarian's daughter, so... who is going to get the librarian's daughter in trouble for ... reading in class...? :)
