"'What precisely what is you wanted, madam?' she said. 'It's just that I've left the class doing algebra, and they get restless when they've finished.'
'Algebra?' said Madam Frout. 'But that's far too difficult for seven-year-olds!'
'Yes, but I didn't tell them that and so far they haven't found out,' said Susan."
Insofar as most current education systems may be deemed dated and mundane, it should at least teach us that in the presence of overwhelmingly stifling incompetence, it is always better to get the job done yourself.
And better yet, when you surpass the limits that society has been bred to adhere by, you may find that - oh snap! - there are no limits at all.
I might add that from then on, life is like one big party, and it's not even midnight yet.
