he held his tongue........
yes immediatey he was bored...the teacher talked on and on...boring stuff..obvious stuff..in seconds he'd had enough...so he jumped over the wall...
into fantasy land
He started designing airplanes on paper .. a side view .. .jets with a saucer like cockpit in siluette with air intakes and landing gear.. he loved landing gear....
and a side view of two man subs..one sitting up with his head inside the conning tower, the other laying down looking ahead and down ..
He used a pen to trace the grains of the wood on his desk
the desk had a little tilt to it so he placeded his large pink erasser on its side.and pushed it ..pretending it .was a plane constantly landing or taking off
he created mazes on the lined paper...careful so the teacher wouldn't see
and she never did. He was never reprimanded for ignoring the teacher,,,no , , not even close. ... . .
also on a page of text..he would start at the top left and draw over the first word..at the end of the word the pencil went down to the next line and on and on till it reached the right side...where he would start over on the left on the next line
also he would fantasize about inventing a flight simulator using wires and toy airplanes inside a big windowed box..
he did engineering doodles...pencil constructions growing on up the page.. each pencil stroke was a beam or board reaching for the heights
did any of the other students do this...he didn't know but for himself this was the only way to go.........to keep his sanity
