Learning to learn is all very well, but with some of the teachers we get, it isn't possible to learn.

A friend of mine said that his class had managed to get a teacher to storm out in tears, and mine isn't far away from achieving that. Out of the about 25 teachers I've had in the last 4 years, I'd estimate maybe 3 good ones, 5 okay ones, 10 mediocre teachers, 4 awful teachers and 3 REALLY awful teachers. And I thought education was supposed to be one of the most important things the government worries about? Think again. Most of the awful teachers are teachers who are very good in terms of knowledge and experience but never faced a class full of students until they were already too far down the "teaching path" to quit. And some of the teachers-in-training we get are even worse...

This is exactly the reason I think HS grads should have a mandatory "Military bootcamp like" encounter. A lot of that arogance and snottiness gets knocked right out of them....I see far too much of this kind of thing living near two major urban type areas.
