It didn't take you very long to discover that the professors of Hogwarts don't actually care about the academics of their students. If they did, then they'd offer more challenging material for those who need it more than others. Like you, for example.

There have been countless times where you've asked for harder assignments because what they were giving you was entirely too easy. You'd blow through their work in fifteen minutes, and then they'd expect you to make yourself busy until the end of class, as if that made any sense.

They didn't want to give you harder work, because that meant they'd have to create a whole new curriculum for you, basically. They wanted you to continue to follow along with their lessons and do well in class. Harder work meant potential failing grades, and they weren't going to take the chance.

So, you moved onto seeing if you could work ahead of your class. However, that only worked for so long. The only teacher that even entertained the idea was Snape, surprisingly, and that was mostly because he wanted to see how much you could do before you gave up.

You liked it, because that meant you'd have to read the potions book for once instead of skimming over it. You stayed up for countless nights finishing papers, excited that you finally had something to do.

He got tired of watching you turn in work weeks in advance, because that meant you weren't paying attention in class. Which isn't entirely true, because you often found more helpful information in the class, and you were able to correct your mistakes—what little you had. Besides, you think he was fed up that you didn't tap out.

It brought on a brief phase of doing other students' work, especially the older students, until you got in trouble for that. It was fair, you couldn't really complain about it because it made sense.

The very last effort you made was taking the issue up with Dumbledore, in hopes that he'd side with you and possibly talk to the teachers about giving you more nutritional work than what they had to offer. Instead, you were shut down and told that everything is taught at a pace for a reason.

Since, you've decided that you don't really care about showing up to class anymore. If they're not going to try and help you, after you've asked them several times, then you're not going to humor them. What's the worst they'll do? Give you detention?

Well, they have. Each time you go, it's the same bullshit about finishing your work, and then you can go. And each time, you finish the paper in ten minutes and slap it on the Professor's desk on the way out. They don't even bother to stop you anymore, because they know the work is actually done.

What a shame, really. You've spent a lot of time lately, thinking about what other students they're letting down by going about it this way. In muggle schools, they have advanced classes for students who are ahead. You can't understand why they don't do the same here.

They're all about bright witches and wizards, until they have one right in front of them. Of course, maybe it's because of the house you're in. It's expected of ravenclaws to go above and beyond in their work. Maybe there have been hundreds of other girls and boys like you, looking for more and then repeatedly being let down.
