So I've been told. Ho ho ho~
I'll just grow out TWO MORE!
...wait, what?
I think it depends even more than on the class, than on the teacher. My high school history teacher actually made things seem relevant, and my literature teacher in high school tried giving us insight about stuff. I guess it was because I was in a Gifted class, so they gave us good teachers.
I just wish the level around here would've been better in the non scientific classes, since they're the ones that don't build you to a profession (well, most of us, anyway) but also build you as a person. And with all due respect to biology it hasn't done me squat of good since 10th grade when I finished with it :v
