Maybe it might just be my program, but after being in a university engineering program, I would never complain about mediocrity or floaters in K-12 public education. A good teacher in engg is one who has a relatively good attendance, his notes are at least 95% correct and if you can understand what is the point of what they're even doing, thats a bonus.
