Welcome to becoming a bitch to the american education system. It's been forgeted as of late and it seems like the state-level government refuses to get their stuff together because education our youth is a "secondary priority" to them. Teachers on tenure literally can get away with anything, all because of "job security" bullstuff. City schools are falling apart at the seams as truancy and the lack quality of their learning environment are on the rise. There's also no way to challenge a teacher because their word is always law unless some parent with a power complex from the PTA decides to forget things up in their favor. Literally, our entire system is in disarray and I just got out before the rolling boulder of common core rolled me over.
College usually doesn't have this much of an issue because many of them are privately owned with the exception of a few state moderated schools (namely SUNY, which is apart of my state). Occasionally you'll get a professor with a power complex on tenure, but usually you can find ways to avoid them or find a proper tutor to just blow your way through the class. But yeah, forget how the public education system is so forgeted up. 4 years of that high-school bullstuff prepared me for literally nothing and 12 years of mandatory social hell to waste a good portion of my life.
