I do wish the US public education system weren't so terrible; if it weren't, I'd have become a teacher. (There's always Montessori schools, but I don't know.)
The fact that schools completely extinguish any and all natural curiosity/questioning from a very early age and replace it with boredom and memorization (rather than giving them a chance to WANT to learn and cultivating a lively, open environment for such things) does not help.
