I am an itinerant teacher and I work with mainstreamed d/hh students.
Oh my god, school is so boring. No wonder most of my students are not motivated to do any work. I sat in on a high school art class thinking it would be interesting--boy was I wrong! The teacher spoke in a monotone voice discussing the importance of making lines or something. I was nodding off within 5 minutes. We did not even paint or draw!! He managed to make the history of the Great Pyramids (which is fascinating stuff) a snooze fest. My student looked so attentive, but only because she has to look at him to understand most of what he is saying (mainly because I was there to make sure she was doing this). My poor student! Now I understand why she complains about this class--it is soooooo boring!!! I never thought that anyone could make art so boring until now.

I agree with you, school is SO BORING! So many teachers are so burnt out, especially if they have to teach the same material five classes per day. It makes it really hard to do anything worthwhile when people don't care about their jobs. It's a shame we waste kids' time.
