What you suggested comes from the free thinker that is you.  Unfortunately most teachers aren't free thinkers, just trained Parrots, regurgitating the same thing year after year.  You are lucky to be one of those that maintained your ability to continue free thinking, as most education systems suppress it.
There is a saying " Those who can Do, those who can't teach"  From George Bernard Shaw

There are a few exceptions, they are the inspirational teachers.

       When I was in college, I of course, like everyone
 else had to take history classes.
 
 I share the same sentiment with you on the
 subject. 
 
 I had a history
 teacher that was only interested in the dates documents were
 signed and by whom.
 
 As a
 young engineering student I thought it would be amazingly
 inspiring to offer those students in the technical
 disciplines a "technical history" class.
 
 I would have been much more
 inspired by learning about Tesla, Edison, Ford, Marconi,
 Einstein, Fermi, etc, etc, etc. It would have brought so
 much more life to the pages of integrals and matrices that
 we were learning about in our physics and electronics
 classes.
