I suppose I should also chime in with “school wasn’t that miserable for me,” but I do recall thinking there was an obviously better option at the time—just spending my time alternating between reading in the library by my house and running around in the park by my house.
I also only recall two dominance contests with teachers, and remember myself as winning both of them—my guess is that many smart adults who are bitter about school are bitter about being forced into those sorts of dominance contests (and losing them).
