Schools are too boring. There are exceptional teachers, but they are not in one school. There are countless bad teachers. Teachers need to be educated to make their subject actually interesting. Too many are trained in classroom management rather than storytelling. I will give an example. My business law professor was so good that I still have tapes of that class from 20+ years ago. I remember every single lecture! My electronics high school teacher was equally excellent. No one disrupts a truly interesting class. History can be as boring as a recital of dates or as vivid as creating a play. English can be made interesting by incorporating writing prompts and etymology vs pointless book reports about uninteresting books. I can’t write about poems that are meaningless to me. No one actually taught me how to write term papers and what were the acceptance criteria. Suspensions are pointless. I was threatened with suspension and was confused how it was supposed to be a punishment. If anything, it felt like a good outcome. Bad teachers trigger negative emotions. I was 38 when I took a class in choreography from an incompetent teacher in college. She actually banned me from watching our class’s last public performance for which you could buy tickets. I had an ambitious project involving mixing two dance styles in 3 tempos to a Japanese song. Well, I am not 18 and so I endured her nonsense but at the same time resisted it. She made me cry, which takes a lot. That person hated me with a passion. I must have reminded her of an ex boyfriend because I can’t explain it any other way.
