I did very well in High School. Not Socially but academically. I quickly figured out the recipe for success. Listen to the teacher, scan the subject text book, and barf out the information back on the test. I got so I didn't really even need to listen to the teacher, the book would suffice to pull down the A.
It was all about getting information from a source that was deemed accurate and trusted, and then remembering it. Easy peazy.
