not only that. why should someone have to go to the other classes all day just to learn from one teacher who things outside of the marxist/keynsian box for one hour. Then a new semester begins with a new crew of gulag managers serving up remedial education to Western students who are falling behind in global standardized test scores against students from countries where the government does not run the k-12 system. So the argument that some teachers are actually teaching critical thinking and real skills is undermined by the fact that the institutionalized garbage that students are being inoculated with daily has effectively dumbed them down to the point to where they are ridiculed if they promote or suggest any idea which does not sync with the party line. Public education is little more than state religion.
