Yeah, most teachers are decent people(though like any segment of society there's some bad ones) working in the confines of a crumby system. Some manage better than others. When you have one of those really good teachers and it's a subject you have at least some passing interest in, it's probably a good idea to make the most of it and learn all you can. And yeah, getting some of your home work done at school(at the expense of relaxation/socialization during break times) can help free up more free time later in the day, but it's still the mental load of doing repetitive and arbitrary tasks for so many hours of time every day(whether you do them at school or home) that's also part of the problem.
Like I said, you might want to consider what path you want to take and focus your best efforts there, with a bare minimum of effort on stuff you feel will be of no use to you. You won't be able to please everybody, so you should do what will set you up for what you want in life to be successful and happy and take everything else with a grain of salt. You need to have self-discipline to focus on your goals, but not waste your time martyring yourself to please some authority figure or system. Sometimes that's actually part of having discipline, to set boundaries and say no to some of society and other people's demands, even if it means disappointing them(which is really their problem, and not yours).
