Your class was so much fun because we learned nothing and it was more or less a free period.

Prepare yourself for a very rude awakening when you enter something called 'the real world'. First of all, in high school, you only need to put up with a difficult teacher for 1 year. On the job, you'll have to put up with many difficult people for years on end.
