I find the best way to deal with school is to
completely ignore your surroundings, including
your teachers, and instead teach yourself as much
as you possibly can about computers. If you
have the intelligence necessary to be a hacker,
you'll pick up tidbits in class, do well on exams
and tests, and pull average marks. As an added
bonus, you won't get into these situations!
Of course, I'm assuming that most hackers are
like me (i.e. they prefer to teach themselves
rather than be taught).
