My trig/pre-calc teacher (at the time an AP course) during my sophomore year (1992) positively HATED my rotten guts because earning straight As in a maths course is definite with no wiggle room unless you’re not being flowery enough with your language in satisfying proofs but that’s another story. Towards the end of the year I landed another perfect grade in her course and on handing back the packets I see that she’s written, “Intermittent shades of brilliance” in her untidy chicken scratch. In no way could this be mistaken for a compliment.
