Teachers have a lot of leeway to teach in their own style, some only teach from the book word for word and some teachers never open the book. Most of the real learning is in the advanced classes. School in America is a glorified daycare. If you have a good memory or take lots of notes like me you can read all the textbooks at the start of the year and coast by in classes like English and History."

"In Norway the teachers had a set out plan and books were not a huge part of it. They were references, and teaching us was as important as us reading books. Is a shame, history is a very interesting subject, but if it is just read book and make notes I guess I'll have to do more self learning. Can I see your notes so I am at least up to date with where this class is at?"
