The kid is probably at a high school where the only people left to teach are dumb as fuck, undereducated, and uncaring and they have no money to hire anyone else. Not all teachers are dumb, but there are more and more dumb ones than good ones cuz "schools need money" to pay better ones.
What makes you think I don't know this shit? I went to high schools in poor suburbs of Boston. I know as well as anyone that schools need money for teachers and supplies, it might be the reason I KEEP SAYING that schools need money. When I was 14 we had the art program shut down cuz of funding, all my friends were into art, it hit them hard.
There is literally nothing you are saying regarding money that I do not agree with. I just disagree with you thinking you ever had any "choice" in what you were teaching and that new thing is worse than old thing because old thing is how we did it and get off my lawn.
And again, like I have ALREADY said, I totally understand that to properly teach CC people are being expected to dedicate LARGE chunks of their free time to learning CC to be able to teach it, for zero extra pay. This is part of the reason teachers are leaving. Some political pressure? Sure. Maybe a little moral indignity? Ok. Overwhelming amounts of "I don't get paid enough for this shit"? Yes.
