Looking back at my secondary school classes... It was pretty awful. I took the 3 last years in the Plastic Arts option (basically meaning that you get 4-8hrs of art per week).
For the first year, our class had two really good art teachers that knew their shit and could answer questions and all, but weren't giving practical classes like anatomy, perspective,... Just random project, hopping from a medium to another, with no real standards.
We had an awful teacher for the last two years that basically killed my desire to do art for that time. By the second year I was actively ignoring his garbage. I don't have much memories of what we did with him, iirc we copied images with grids for some time and were forced to use ink for a lot of his assignments. Oh yeah and there was a final year project consisting of 4 drawings we were supposed to do, reviewed by a jury consisting of our schools art teachers and some local pedantic critic gayass. I took the time to do a decent autoportrait that was better than the average of the class (that means upper /beg/ tier) and my faggot teacher actually told me I wasn't the one who drew this since he never saw me draw during his shitty classes as my 17yo retard of a teenager self couldn't be bothered to bring the A3 block to class. Still got a good grade and fucked off this school forever. Not very good memories indeed.

All that was 7 years ago. The thing is, I actually think my school wasn't that bad. I think it really comes down the teachers involved, and that it will always be weighed down by them being forced to cater to a bunch of useless teenagers and to respect the program our shitty educational system is forcing upon them.
