What was your LEAST favorite subject in school?

Grade school: Penmanship
Junior high: Algebra
Senior high: Business Math
College: Public Law (ironic in light of things to come)
Law school: Property (loved the professor, hated the subject)

:)

:D

Only reason "math" isn't up there four times. ;)

Until college.

Then I hated, with an intensity never known before, Electrical Circuits.

I hated writing poetry.

Nobody ever got it.
Not even the damned teacher.

My last English teacher was so bad, we argued all the time about what I was writing about.

She said I was one of the worst students she had ever had!

I said, "Big deal, 3 other teachers have told me that, too, but I still got A's from them! Because they could teach!"

She retired at the end of the year.

because it consisted of either gymnastics or track and field.

It was so monotonous and boring...I lived for the rare occasion when we played floor hockey, soccer or when we went ice skating.(I was actually pretty athletic outside of school...horse back riding, ice and roller skating, street hockey, tennis, badminton, cycling)

Our sports were more varied. Yes, Gymnastics were involved but we played a good variety of sports - cross-country running, hockey (on a field, with sticks), football (a.k.a. soccer) & rugby in the winter... track & field athletics, rounders, stoolball, cricket in the summer. That's what the boys played. The girls often substituted football for netball, and dance movements for rugby. There was 2x 2hr segments a week for P.E. at our school. As such, we had other sports for variety also: basketball, weight training, badmington, tennis, even softball were played.

Now for every class report I had I either had A's or B's. But for P.E. I always got D's or E's. One year I got a C. My best grade in P.E. - ever.

Mark.

At my schools you basically had to refuse to participate to get anything less than an A in PE. Even if you participated and sucked you got an A...

Still does AFAIK. Since participation in P.E. was compulsory for everybody, it wasn't a case of refusing because you couldn't - you had no bloody choice! (yes I hated it too - especially football and rugby. Nasty!) So as such those of good ability got the A's, and so on... we were graded on effort, and I got anything from an A to a E in effort depending on the teacher - there was one teacher I bet that loathed me privately. Never mind, the other three were nice enough.

Mark.

One looong credit.

One class in THAT? I'd be ready for the asylum!!

Holy shit I suck at math. Any other subject I can manage, though I am not good at foreign languages, but I am absolutely useless at math.

Hated it then, hate it now.

Grade School: Math
Junior High: Math
Senior High: Math
College: Math



Um, did I mention Math was my least favorite subject?

To prove my point, I didn't show up for six weeks (except for test days) and still passed the course.

Grade school: arithmetic

Middle school: arithmetic

High school: geometry (loved algebra!)

College: Mandatory swimming class (had to pass to graduate! :grr: )

I love being in the water, but I'd freak out if I had to pass that exam to graduate!

I have never had a subject kick my ass so hard, in so many different ways than calculus.

I hated math, but was always pretty good at it.

Science, most notably chemistry, I never had a hang for it.

Does that count?

My least favorite is PE. Damn teacher, using my least favorite nickname to tell me to run faster! :grr:

You remember the kid that always gets hit in the head with the ball?


Me :dunce:

Except I really liked archery and volleyball.

Elementary- math
Middle- math
high school- math
college- chemistry (only because I never really too a math class)

I can't really think of a subject I disliked. I absolutely dreaded PE, but at my high school the course came with a health component that was extremely interesting.

I even enjoyed property in Law School. At least the rules in property are consistent and uniform with few very exceptions. :)

I usually dislike any non-history humanities class, most especially H.S, French, however I always did good/enjoyed Math, Chemistry and Physics (Ive never made less than an A in the latter two :)) I also sucked horribly in Art class.

If you didnt already guess, Im in Engineering... I ALWAYS have to ask/read an interpretation for almost any work of fiction, I just NEVER 'got' it, the teach can say "so this symbolises that which foreshadows that" and Im like, where in the blue @@!! did that come from! I can appreciate only a few fiction books and pieces of art, and I generally hate poetry, especially trying to write it. I cannot learn a foreign language to save my life either. Honestly I just never really care(d) for anything in the social science/humanities field (and dont have a high opinion of it anyways, except History and Politics, of course ;)).

So, to sum up:

elem: Spanish
mid: Art
high: French
coll: Lit and Sociology

OK, I'll roll

Grade school: English
Junior High School: History
High School: Physical Ed
College: English
Grad School: I took this class so weird (it was a required class) about analytical methods and it was more ANAL than analytical. I like analysis but this shit was weird.

Somehow I always got stuck in advanced classes even though I suffered from discalculia. My stomach would tie up in knots any time I had a test. I don't know how I managed to get Cs.

I was never any good at it so I always hated it.

In high school, geometry (in 11th grade) was by far the most boring class I had, but the teacher was nice. I definitely hated chemistry the most (also in 11th grade). I hated the subject matter and the teacher (there were two chemistry teachers in my high school: the hard one who was at the school for almost 30 years when I had her, and the easy one. I had the hard one).

In college, it was definitely the English classes I hated the most. My English II class involved writing about literature, and the professor I had could cure insomnia.

Interestingly, it took until college for me to become somewhat good at math. I'm still not a big fan of math; I guess I just grew more tolerant of it over the years (and at least math classes never involved research papers, at least for me.)

If necessity is the mother of invention
Then I'd like to kill the guy who invented this
The numbers come together in some kind of 3rd dimension
A regular algebraic bliss.
Let's start with something simple
Like one and one ain't three
And two plus two will never get you five
There's fractions in my subtraction
And X don't equal Y
But my homework is bound to multiply

Math sucks (math sucks)
Math sucks (math sucks)
I'd like to burn this textbook, I hate this stuff so much!
Math sucks (math sucks)
Math sucks (math sucks)
Sometimes I think that I don't know that much--But math sucks!

I got so bored with my homework
I turned on the T.V.
The beauty contest winners were all smiling through their teeth
They asked the new Miss America "Hey babe, can you add up all those bucks?"
She looked puzzled then just said, "Math Sucks!"

Math sucks (math sucks)
Math sucks (math sucks)
You don't even have to spell it, all you have to do is yell it
Math sucks (math sucks)
Math sucks (math sucks)
Sometimes I think that I don't know that much--But math sucks!

Geometry, trigonometry, and if that don't tax your brain
There are numbers to big to be named (too big to be named)
Numerical precision is a science with a mission
And I think it's gonna drive me insane

Parents fighting with their children and the Congress can't agree,
Teachers and their students are all jousting constantly
Management and labor keep rattling old sabers,
Quacking like those Peabody ducks

Math sucks (quack quack)
Math sucks (quack quack)
You don't even have to spell it, all you have to do is yell it!
Math sucks (math sucks)
Math sucks (math sucks)
Sometimes I think that I don't know that much--But math sucks!

Math sucks, math sucks, math sucks the big one
Math sucks, math sucks, math sucks the big one

Sucked--- big time

As did PE.

And study hall.

I went to school to be an accountant.. Switched to economics after a few years.

Grade School--English
Junior High--Earth Science
High School--Trigonometry
College--Microeconomics

Blah. :puke:

I've never been good at it. I've always been an English + History guy.

And I was really good in science until all the damn equations and maths started figuring into it. x(

it would be Gym.

In college, it was Econometrics. I was lost and still got a C.

The way that our professor taught it made it seem boring and having no relevance to anything. The labs were somewhat relevant since we learned things like distillation, separations, GC, and lab techniques. I remember little of the lecture material and still don't understand why it was relevant to anything.

I told them all, "I don't need this, I'll be moving out of state ASAP!" And I did. I showed them! B-)

I was also completely uninterested in US History, and Geometry.

World History, Business Law, Psychology, and Environmental Science though- they kicked ass.

Hi Depose, nice to see you. Where have you been? How's your sister?
