I think Math in particular is difficult to teach, because every student doesn't learn the same way--and some methods will be harder for some students to get than others. Nothing but respect for anyone who teaches (and takes their job seriously, obviously).

Maths can also only be learned through practice... that's where homework comes in, if there isn't enough time to learn the techniques in class.
How many hours a week do kids practice maths VS hours practicing those cheerleading stunts?
As for the punishment... that thing of making kids do laps if they get something wrong... imagine if you got some maths exercise wrong and the teacher made you count to 1000! LOL!!
When you say European History, do you go way back to Celts and Vikings and Romans and Gauls and Goths, or is it mostly 18th century and onward (to keep up with the US?) What does that AP mean?
