Does anybody else dislike their foreign language class?

I enjoy learning new languages, but I loathe my class.

My school decided to combine Spanish IV with the dual enrollment Elementary Spanish I class since neither class had very many students signed up. We are following the Elem Span I curriculum, so it’s less advanced than the Spanish III course I took last year which is super annoying - it’s a total waste of time because I’m not learning anything new.

I also dislike my teacher. I’ve had her for 2.5 years now and I’m honestly just sick of her. She thinks her class is the only important one (she literally yelled at me when I missed class because my mom had a stroke and I chose to spend time with my mom in the hospital…). She’s also just rather old fashioned and won’t let you use the internet to look up words and other stuff like that. Her mantra is “this is college, folks” but ironically hands out coloring worksheets and other pointless busywork-like assignments and proceeds to micromanage everybody.

If I actually learned something in Spanish, I’d like it a lot more.
I really want to take a Latin class or German class too, but my school doesn’t offer either.
