All i can say to you, Eve, is that for every ounce of woe you experience under 'harsh'/demanding teachers will likely only benefit you later on. Look at many of the other kids around you...and how sadly undereducated they are. Or others - to call a space a spade - downright ignorant or stupid. It's a damned shame what the 'average' student is asked to do in the USA. I ought to know, 'cause i literally sucked at much math, and still do. In college, I had to take remedial math courses just to be able to reach towards the couple of lower level ones to get my degree...and it was painfully difficult (and terribly embarrassing), with many attempts on my part to pass those classes.

Think of yourself as being somewhat ahead of the curve in learning, and therefor ahead in the game of life. Try to never stop learning, try to use much of what you were taught, no matter what age you are of what profession you ultimately choose. Use it or lose it is REAL. I've also found, as one gets older, that you find out just how much you *don't* know as the world around you gets bigger.

One last comment... be glad you're not a product of the typical USA public school system. I swear, it seems like ignorance and stupidity are only growing in some ways. We're still sadly lagging far behind many other countries in education. It's deplorable.
xp 3nodding Zari, you're right on. I have to agree. No matter how difficult the class is, at least you're learning. There are many classes where you go and have a grade based on attendance and multiple choice tests with easy answers. Can you truly remember what you learn in those classes? I can't. Unless I'm challenged a lot, my mind doesn't learn the information because I can skate by on minimal knowledge.
