But it's not about general stuff it's getting more and more detailed and i'm not a machine.

the role of school is for you to learn how to balance different aspects of life...your teachers don't care that your personal desires are not being met or your personal interest being sparked, that is your responsibility...when you enter the real world you will need to be able to balance your wants with your responsibilities...some of that will require you to do things you may not love, you may not even like to do...if i were you i would aspire to learn how to write properly and stop whining....

You most assuredly are no machine. However, your mind can operate like one. By learning new things on deeper levels, you are opening up more neural pathways in your brain. This is crucial when you are young. It is like laying a road map for your mind. It literally shows you the way to think for the next time you learn something. It's like learning to drive. You have to learn your way around the car. Then the rules of the road and the signs and what they mean. Then you have to learn the way around your neighborhood. Then the freeway. Then the highway. And maps. Then the next town. And so much more, just for driving! Life is so much more complicated than that. But you need a road map to follow or you will get lost. Your teachers are working against time. They only have students for a short time. They know you have the same equipment Einstein had. They want to help you understand the owner's manual. Teachers know how smart your brain is. They also know you are smart enough to do anything they can dish out. Ask your science teacher about neural pathways. The answer will satisfy your question.

You need not worry; your teachers know that quite well. Each and every one of them feels the same way - some topics matter very much to them whilst they couldn't care less about others. When you enter college, you will at that point have the choice regarding what topics you'll study - to an extent. In order to be certified, even colleges must insist that every undergraduate pass certain core classes, some of which may bore the students to tears.
Of course you may choose not to go to college - perhaps you seek a career as a diesel mechanic or in heating and air conditioning. Maybe trade school will be your choice, or perhaps even a specialized school in one of the Armed Forces. Still - there is a certain set of basic subjects that you cannot hope to avoid and still succeed in life. A plumber, carpenter, mason or any of those tradesmen already mentioned still needs to know math. He or she still needs to know how our government works: the candidates we vote for will directly determine what sort of working conditions we're subject to, what sort of services (like fire and police protection) we get and what that's gonna cost us. And all the above also need a good grounding in history because bad ideas have a nasty habit of reappearing, and being worse ideas every time they do. We have to protect ourselves against the bad ideas, and without a knowledge of history, we gots no way to tell the bad ones from the good ones. Wanna go back to the days of slavery, or when women were property and not equal, or when not professing the "correct" religious beliefs could get you tortured and killed? Nah, you don't want that. Do it make a bit mo' sense now, Dude?

What difference would it make if they understood that. I would imagine they do know that, but the knowledge of what you are aspiring to be does not change their job of teaching you a curriculum and it does not change your job in learning a curriculum. School....from K - grad school is about learning discipline and problem solving so that you can acheive in the area that interests you. Think of it in the sense that if you can get yourself to work hard in an area that doesn't interest you, imagine what you could do in an area that is your passion. The curriculum of your classes should be less of your concern, and proving to yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to should be a bigger concern. You are always going to come across things in life that you don't want to do and how you handle those situations will determine how much time you spend doing the things you want to do...and enjoying it.

Unfortunately I don't think it matters. Their JOB is to teach you what you're in school to learn. It's not so that you become interested in the subject. Learning ANYTHING is a good mental exercise. I can tell you from experience -- you may not have to do specific tasks in the future like conjugating verbs in other languages or taking the square root of numbers, but having done it will make you seem like less of a dumb a** in the off chance that it DOES come up. And if you go to college you will certainly need to do it again... and that's when grades will really count.

Good luck!

Most teachers know it. The purpose of teaching history to students aspiring only for science career is to train students "how to study and understand" any subject.

That's a good one. Unfortunately, the State in which you live has starndards by which the Teachers must follow. By the by, it's good to have aspirations.

Teachers just dont understand and they wont understand. They already forgot the feeling of being a student.
But about subjects... maybe the subjects dont interest u, but wad about the other students??? Maybe someone likes it. And they cant change the subjects... It's their job to teach those subjects.
About me.... I DON'T LIKE ANY SUBJECTS AT ALL!!!
