Honestly, most of them felt like they were clocking in and out which I'm ok with. I remember 3 really good teachers in high school. One was my 9th grade English teacher and the other 2 were part of a pilot program to introduce a multi-period general purpose computer class in the late 90s. I still think about them sometimes. What was unique about the 2 running the computer class was since it was a pilot program (first time trying it), there was no rule book. They put together a curriculum but I remember there being a lot of time for self guidance and experimenting (it was a 4 period class every day for 2 years) which was great. However, I remember taking a job placement test in 6th or 7th grade. That test said I was best suited to be a mortician or a brick layer. I also remember being threatened with detention multiple times when I was 7-10 years old because I didn't want to pledge allegance to the flag every morning. Not because I hate my country or was brought up in a weird way around that, I just didn't like the idea of being forced into doing something I didn't understand. One of my biggest takeaways from school was that I learned not to depend on anyone for anything that's truly important and being an adult doesn't mean you're always right by default. I have no regrets or issues with that outcome.
