This video reminded me of a lot of you.
You were bored in classes, and too smart for your school.
Your teachers didn't know how to help someone as smart as you.
Also, your parents were working too hard to give you the special attention
you needed.
[ video = this is what you should have been ]

wake up at 5 am? Oh hell no.
I wish they would find something better to do with kids time than most educational programs though. They vary from repititious to useless.

A lot of the problem in your life are your teacher's fault. They didn't teach you

That would assume that teachers decide what they teach, but they don't.
It also assumes what you are taught is an important part of who you become as an adult.

My wife just got a teaching job. This is bountifully true.
She does "decide what," but it is bounded by major structural constraints which can get in the way.

School sucks!
paraphrasing from chevy chase in caddyshack,"School isn't for everyone, we need people to dig ditches."
That kid is amazing.

A brilliant kid, but an extreme outlier. Public and even most private schools were not set up to handle kids like this because they are so rare that its impossible to cater to them and to the "regular" kids. His parents seem to have found out how to satisfy his needs within the established system (let him self-teach, get him out of public school as soon as possible and into higher education).
Schools have a lot wrong with them, but having the infrastructure to handle kids like this for 12 years is not one of them.

If the school system is the only one teaching you or your child, you've got bigger problems than a lousy school system.

The teacher gets you for less than a year. Maybe you should consider your parents, or yourself, rather than blaming the poorly-paid government employee who's being bossed around by politicians who all went to private school.
By the way, I'm not addressing you in particular. I'm just using the same strange "I will use the second person" format you (actual you) decided to open this thread with.
