My realization on this: teachers were a really bad fit for me. Having a human trying to make it palatable to me in real time in their own words was just not great. At some point I stopped listening in class nor taking notes and just read the manual and other related books on my own, at my own pace (often during class), and it worked a hundred times better.
There's still the issue of having to be in the classroom, which meant doing that whole learning process ahead of time to be able to defocus and still somewhat react to questions and activities going on in the classroom.
