    Its because teachers hate the idea that a smart student isn’t enthusiastic about the topic they’re teaching and that they’d do clearly what is their bare minimum and then mentally drop out. Its insecurity.

    I had a ton of teachers like this.

      My music teacher was pretty angry that I clearly only picked the subject because I didn’t want to take art or PE.

      I wasn’t there due to any passion for it, did the absolute minimum, and the only way it’s affected my life is that I keep thinking about how annoyed he was.
