A subject taught by ingrates is going to be a subject for ingrates. Most teachers are ingrates. I only learned to start to love mathematics and history after reading the works of non-ingrates and learning to play with the concepts. We are conditioned to despise subjects which lend themselves to play and fancy of thought by teaching them so awfully. I'm actually mad at all the money spent on the teachers and schools who taught me. I could've learned more from a smart guy in 6 months than 12 years of public schooling. But in defense, a lot of learning is remembering symbols (aka facts and shit) and recognizing them. But it's like learning "1, 2, 3, 4, 5...". You don't get the magic of operators and functions.
