Haha, our was a Civil Engineer ... His way of teaching IT was buying a book, and almost verbatim read from it. The same guy was "teaching" DB design... It was so boring, that everybody crawled to the backside. As you can guess, nobody was happy.

We ended with a mini revolt against several teachers because everybody was failing those subjects. They had the energy of a Koala. Clearly burned out or unqualified ... Just going over the material like robots. When we asked to explain it better, it was just repeating the same lines like it was too much effort.

Think about it, how bad it is that students revolted and ended up going to the school director to complain about the sub standard teaching.

For a few lessons they actually bothered teaching. With attitude, because we actually dared to go over their heads for wanting a decent education. And for a short time everybody their grades improved a lot, as we finally understood the material the got thrown around. And ... then the teachers slowly fell back to their routing, and a few minor hints that if we dared to go to the director again.... We gotten all so tired of it, and gave up.

And end of the year, the school did not understand why so many students (like 75%+), all failed those specific subjects. It was a lot of students, over multiple groups. Its not like it was "bad apple" in one group, what i am sure was used as a excuse for the inter mediate results.

When the director finally showed his face because it was so bad (probably was going to result in a investigation from above)... Students already angry told the school director "WE TOLD YOU that this was going to be the result, but you did not want to fix the issues. There is no point having teachers that are clearly burned out or are blatantly unqualified to teach".

I left after that, it was just a waste of life studying. Ended up going autodidactic and made a nice carrier for myself. Yea, and that was our "western" education.

Then people wonder why our education is a disaster and blame it on smartphones (30 years ago we did not have those). Because it can never be the teachers and the top-down dictated goals. No no, must be the students that are dumb...

The teachers that had actually a lot of motivation (often the younger ones), guess what, people all had good scores in those subjects. Its like the quality of the teachers impacts the students ability to learn, shocking!!!
