Yeah that too I guess. I do think a lot of topics are rushed over as well simply because schools have a set curriculum they need to cover. Often you'll spend 2 weeks on one topic but then something equally as important only gets a small mention. And kids (people) in general learn at different paces. One of the things that always bugged me with maths, and why I'd always hate it was because the teacher would expect you to pick up something like simultaneous equations within 2 lessons. Most of the class probably would but I'd still be sitting there like "wtf is this shit". You're then chastised by said teacher when you don't know what you're doing. In the end you just disengage with what's going on, at least that's what it was like for me.
