One thing that's maybe worth considering is the relative academic ability of the students too. To get entry to a 'traditional' science subject, you normally need to have very decent A Level grades even at lower ranked institutions.

I had an teacher in 1st(?) year who was fired for being a raging alcoholic. She used to turn up to class barely vertical.

But we also had teachers, esp at my highschool (the really bad stuff was at my middle school) who taught us stuff sometimes. The main thing is what we did NOT have: gendered subjects.

I think that one thing that really doesn't serve the UK system well is introducing too much choice too early. At 14 you can drop subjects like Computing, IT, Languages, and anything other than a multiple choice level of Science and never have to do them again

Yup. Dropping subjects at a young age is dangerous IMHO.
