Both, depending on the teacher who wrote the report, or even the subject.

I had (and carried to Uni) a bad habit of correcting teachers and professors. Also asked questions that made educators interpret that I enjoyed bending the logic of what they were teaching.

Great for math and physics, but bad for weak egos and those who didn’t think deeply or creatively about the subject material.

I had this problem too but mainly for math. I'd do well in classes and tests, but the material just didn't make sense to me. It wasn't until I studied real analysis that everything started to click.

I thought about my answer before opening the comments and I feel validated to find you already posted it verbatim.
