High school English class was like this for me too. It was usually obvious what my teacher wanted students to say but it just seemed all so contrived and I couldn’t bring myself to participate in the silliness. On my report card she once wrote, “stubbornly sticks to his opinions even when wrong”.
One day, for fun, I tried out saying what I thought she wanted to hear. I got a lot of praise from her that day.
