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.
