On this quote from my teacher mother? "Providing the structure and routine kids need to make kids excel in reading/math will make most of then say school is boring/they hate it." Expanded quote

You can do that while making it enjoyable.

Not saying it is easy mind, but many teachers have succeeded at doing so. Also some children won't enjoy it no matter what you do. Be it due to any issues/help they need or numerous other things.

Nah, thats bullshit.

While I agree wholeheartedly that structure and routine are essential in the classroom, you can have a structured environment and still manage to keep kids interested. Lessons arent always going to be interesting, but a teacher should at least try to create engaging lessons.

Even if the school had nothing but fun great teachers, kids are always going to complain.

I do not believe this is true.

I used to call classes that I was lost in boring or said that I hated them.

if I felt confident about a class and/or felt I was properly learning from one of my teachers, I was less likely to say anything negative.

Disagree, I think the teachers should do their best to try and get kids to enjoy learning.

This. School is school. Most kids would rather be doing literally anything else. Unless there was a video game class. And even then they'd still rather be doing it at home.

Though that doesn't necessarily mean teachers shouldn't try to be engaging.

This.

The vast majority of the kids Ive taught have loved school and I have always had my classes exceed expectations academically.

Most kids will say they hate school no matter what because they have to do work

This becomes pretty true in college. But prior to that, not really.

It doesn't even need to be fun. Just making it engaging enough if nothing else.

Not all teachers have an education degree. I doubt it though. My teacher training course just took our money and then hoped we learned everything on placement.

University was great.

Most students systematically rate good classes and professors poorly, usually because a good treatment of the material and good exam design makes the classes a lot of work.

Hell, if attendence is expected, students shit all over the reviews.

I can only speak about my experiences, but I have been to university four times and only one of them was anything short of amazing.
