Why?

Why does going to a once community school have to mean that I am very unlikely to actually get an education?
Why are so many of the people who teach in this school so fucking dumb?
Why aren't there higher standards for teachers who are supposed to be teaching higher subjects?

I'm lucky enough to have yet another retarded professor this semester. And it's making me angry.

First, she gave like 3 conflicting instructions for our first assignment. When I asked for clarification 3 times, I never got any.
Secondly, she gave the wrong ISBN number for the book we need. At least like 10 students posted on the boards and emailed her about this issue, no one has gotten a response.
Thirdly, she has not made the Contents (where our assignments are located) available to the class. A number of people have posted about this and emailed and called her. The girl I speak to was told, only after reaching her on the phone after numerous tries, that she was the only one with the problem and to contact the tech guy. Apparently the teacher hasn't bother reading the 20 bulletin board posts from various students saying, "is anyone else having problems getting into contents?!?!?!" The problem, by the way, as it's stated quite clearly when you click on the contents, is that the course designer (aka teacher) hasn't made these pages available to the students.
Fourth, and this warrants a number of it's own, is that she is obviously not reading the bulletin board. Why? That is the equivalent of our class discussions. Wouldn't- nay- SHOULDNT a teacher be involved in those?
Fifth, the quiz is 16 questions and 20 minutes. The material the quiz is on is over 20 pages of reading. Most of the students that have taken it so far say that they weren't able to finish it because time ran out and you'd only really do well if you'd memorized the entire section of reading.

I'm sure there will be more to complain about later. Now I have to go and ignore everything else to try and memorize all the material so I don't mar by 4.0 GPA because I have, yet again, a half-brained professor who doesn't know what she's doing or how to do it.
