Today I received a physics SAC mark which was below average and probably the worst SAC of the entire year. I feel like I'm not learning anything in 4/5 of my classes for most of the year. Right now I'm not satisfied with my scores and I feel like I'm learning more independently than than I ever learn at school. Majority of what I know is from self study. So, I'm wondering whether it's even worth attending classes next term. I'm really not satisfied with my teachers this year and if you read my second post, it really outlines how I feel. Some teachers just refuse to teach the course (one teacher just refuses to teach and says "if you're good than you're good", implying that those who aren't naturally talented should just give up and the other is busy wasting periods on stuff which is well outside the scope of the course without first consolidating the basics). One other teacher at least tries really hard to teach the necessary things but just teaches too fast for majority if not all of my class to understand. Yes, I have one amazing teacher which I can actually walk into class not knowing anything beforehand and understand, but shouldn't this be the norm? I don't think I should be expected to do nearly all of my learning outside of class. I'm really unsatisfied with my teachers which in my opinion has made what has been an otherwise great year a massive grind to get through. So any advice for me? Should I start skipping classes or should I sit and endure (I can't self study in their classes as they don't allow electronic devices to be opened and most of the time just force their students to listen)?
