The teacher is the biggest factor. I had two teachers for Grade 12 Chemistry. The first guy was great, I remembered most of what he said, but he was only filling in because the other was off pregnant.
She was the single worst teacher I ever had. I got numerous detentions because I dont take many notes in class. I never had. Its not how I remember things. Of all the things to get written up for, not taking notes was it. After that I got them for "being disrespectful".  
I called her an idiot, and with good reason. If someone didnt understand something, she would tell them that it was their fault, not hers and make them read the textbook, which is pretty useless.
She came back in the second half of the year, after we got our midterm marks. I got a 90% then. At the end of the year, my mark dropped to a 70%. Pretty much evryone in the class had their mark drop by at least 10% when she returned. You'd think this would have raised some eyebrows in the administration, but no. Snatchface (what my class nicknamed her) is still there teaching.

thats exactly what happened to me in history class. I got a 96% on the midterm, while the student teacher was heading things up, then when the old witch came back, I ended up dropping to like 75%.

luckily, most of the history teachers are now pretty young, and the witch is stuck as a librarian, against her will I think.

Amen to that. Actually, all of Western history is only a minor part of world history, but its pretty much all we ever learned.

Oh no, our precious tea! They can't possibly tax it, the bastards! This is serious now, lets revolt. Oh and, while we're at it, lets put in some of that Liberty and Freedom crap Franklin is always *****ing about, at least it'll shut him up.

I'm a history teacher but strangely, I actually enjoyed physics

actually, it's not that bad. it's just that I lacked the motivation to learn the math behind it. should've paid attention to analysis.
