Teacher quality vs Studying

Haha I can imagine that would be hilarious for a very short period of time. Then you'd be like FFS TEACH US SOMETHING
My year 8/9 English teacher gave us 5-10 minutes of meditation time at the start of every lesson to "clear all the stress and worry from our minds". The same teacher gave out A's willy-nilly because she "disapproved of the school's report system".
So good when you're 14, even if two years of English education basically became write-offs.

my music teacher would forget to turn up to classes... we would just go to the music computer labs and have fun on youtube/miniclip etc... one time, we actually found him in the staff room eating noodles and reading a newspaper...

LOL. One word. TRUST.

In my later years I had another English teacher - who had a stern reputation amongst the younger students - who tried hard to reinvent himself with his older students as the friendly, approachable sort. He encouraged his students to call him by his first name (they didn't) and also gave out his home e-mail address so the students could mail him with any queries on the subject.
Of course, he stopped doing that after one student subscribed him to a Korean porn site...

Or perhaps teachers which simply aren't academically driven? Ie my Health teacher who would discuss her weekend partying or social calendar for half the class and then write 'chapter 1' for example on the board and sit down to browse Facebook for the duration of the class. This was not an isolated incident in Health. 95% of kids in my school didn't make it past 30 for health. Or History, much the same story. The result of teachers like these is absolutely terrible cohorts and makes it hard for kids like me to land in the 40's, thus my poor study scores. I missed out on 4 marks for the health exam, and got 18 and 19 for each passage analysis for lit, but due to my crappy teachers giving us bad sacs I couldn't get the A+'s. Having teachers whom are unable to for fill even the basic criteria for being a teacher isn't fun.
