because in my case the usual reason I was doing that was because I thought the teacher was wrong about something.
That was one of the ways I showed the teacher I was smart! I was instructed to do exactly this by my mother and not worry about anyone's feelings.
ETA: I just remembered running into one of my college professors in grad school, when we were both at the same conference. I didn't expect him to recognize me, because the class I'd had with him was a lecture with 300 students, and furthermore was 6 years ago at that point, but after we said hi, he went, "You're the one who taught me not to teach off the cuff," i.e. I had corrected him a lot when he strayed outside his area of expertise. LOL.
I would complete worksheets and what not because it was something to do, but I literally didn't realize that they were supposed to be teaching me things.
Oh, lol. Were you bored a lot? I at least was aware that they were supposed to be teaching me things and vocal about the travesty (I keep using this word, because, yes, I was very melodramatic about it) of the fact that they were not.
