The thing I hate most for teachers is when the class complains about something yet it isn’t in the teachers control. I remember in Algebra we were doing a problem, and there were 2 ways to do it. Naturally we chose the easiest way. Our teacher explained to us that it was fine but we had to do it the harder way. The class got really mad. He explained that it was in the district rules & he had to teach it a certain way or get fired.

Teaching in Real Life

Yes, this can be unfortunate at times.  For the most part, my governmental curriculum doesn’t have strict ways as you suggest, or from what I am aware of with Common Core in the USA.
