By listening to the kids and challenging them, the noble teacher can inspire them to abandon lives of crime, stand up to gangs, and go to MIT and become a mathematician.

The reality: American high schools are boring prisons for teenagers and the teachers are humorless tenured shits who would just as soon crush a kid's dreams as inspire them to sharpen a pencil. High schoolers can expect to watch a video vaguely related to their subject and then do busy work out of a book while their teacher text messages her therapist.

About This Column
It is said the Lord did write upon the sky, "Only the Most Awful shall be cataloged herein." And a wind did come and blow away the words and turn them into a skull.
