Speaking as a recent high school graduate, please, please don't give up. I made it out of school knowing calculus and more because I had one physics teacher and one math teacher that hadn't given up. They wrote their homework themselves, used college textbooks and twenty-year-old texbooks they'd collected from eBay, and railed constantly at the district's purchasing people. They weren't able to change the system all by themselves, but they still made - and continue to make - all the difference for dozens or hundreds of students. You can do the same. Please.
