My high school teachers (public schools) were dreadful. I swear they taught us what an adjective and an adverb were for four straight years. Well, it sunk in. But what's a gerund? Smashing.
I taught school my first year out of college. The kids were great and were able to learn a LOT more than what was in the lesson plans I was supposed to stick to. My experience taught me that the teachers can make a world of difference. Most high school teachers are awful though and the public school teaching culture is appalling/ For many teachers there was an "us vs. them" mentality, I observed many talking badly about students in the teacher's cafeteria ("What out for so-and-so next year in your class. She's really bad"), many of them were barely proficient in their subjects. They didn't know the answers to basic questions in their "fields".
In the end, I didn't want to live on a teacher's salary.
