Loved the article! It really helped put things into perspective!
At the beginning of this Year, as a year 12, I thought it would be a great idea to learn things ahead, and be ahead of the class, as I thought it was going to be a super hectic year with not much time in between SACs. I was definetely wrong in this, and school has been moving at a slow pace. If I learn things ahead, I found my self being bored in class, and running out of things to do. So this term, I stepped back a bit and followed my class. The only thing I did was briefly go through the content before a class, so I wasn't completely lost. This method worked well for me, as it ensured I listened to my teacher and wasn't missing key bits of information, that could potentially advantage other classmates.
That being said, I am planning to work a fair bit ahead into Unit 4 content, as I've got a jam packed term coming up!
