What is or what was your Least Favorite Subject in school

Post Reply New Topic

Wehn I was in honors/Pre-AP English, I really hated it. But now that in regular English, my least favorite class is world history AP. I'm not that great at remembering information, which is one of the reasons I like science and math classes so much; for there really isn't much remembering to be done in those classes. It's all just logical stuff.

P.E. and Algebra, for one.
Nonatheltic, and after basic concepts of Algebra, it gets very confusing.

Off topic: Woo! 1000 posts!

currently it is math. So boring, so repetitive.

I hate PE...that's one reason I am in choir for my PE credits. The other is I just love choir.

I also am not a fan of History.

RE: I used to ask all sorts of intelligent but highly offensive questions about religion. My secondary school tried to indoctrinate the kids into practicing Protestant Christianity and I steadfastly refused to follow it by saying things like it was plastic Christianity invented by a German madman with a grudge against the Pope, and what is the point of Protestant Christianity when Orthodox Christians hate the Pope?

PE: My schools had a heavy bias towards team sports that I was hopeless at. I cannot see what advantage there is to be gained from team sports at school later in life. Only a miniscule fraction of people ever become professional sportsmen, so there really is no reason to have team sports as a major part of the PE curriculum.

Woodwork: A combination of blunt tools and a bad tempered teacher made this subject a misery. Rather ironically, I have built several pieces of furniture since leaving school. I prefer to use modern power tools over traditional hand tools wherever possible. I will never master using a chisel but give me a router any day.

English: I was unfortunate to attend a secondary school that selected an all coursework English GCSE with no exam that was based around analysing literature. I found all the Shakespeare and poetry incomprehensible and the lack of a structure and past exam papers made the situation worse. The end result was a bad grade despite being good at spelling, grammar, and factual essay writing because these skills weren't tested. The exam boards discontinued the all coursework GCSE a year later because it was failing too many people like me who had expertise with the important English skills for real world and business use.

I hate my Tanach (hebrew bible thingy) class. Since I have a gap in my jewish education that no one else in my class has, I am at a huge disadvantage, what with not knowing the core skills necessary for this class. Plus I don't know hebrew, which the books are all in.

PE classes are probably the second worse thing that governments invented for school children.

Second?

Math! I used to be so good at it. But now that I suck, I dread just walking into my math classroom.

But I LOVE psychology. It's my favorite class.

Maths! especially algebra, it's just so complicated and pointless. I don't think I'm really going to need all that algebra rubbish later in life am I?

PE. especially team sports (no surprise there lol) because I can never pick teams and when I do the other team mates complain because they know I'm crap at sport.

I don't really like geography that much either, it's so boooring!

P.E. and sometimes math. Really depends on what we are doing ang if the teacher is good.

I forgot about PE being a subject in school. I was "sick a lot so I didn't do anything.

I hated that class so much.

Algebra is actually probably one of the most important things you will learn in school. I use it all the time, and you need it for every math problem you will ever do from here on.

Not realy the subject itself but the almost no application to it in actual problems...

I never liked history very much... I perfer more logical classes... (ex. Physics, chemistry, even algebra [ however the way i do algebra i prefer over any textbook...])

My school was like that too, and college is like that at the beginning because they try to teach you some basics so all the students have the same general background.

I was very, very good at English but I didn't like it for the most part. In fact, in my senior year of high school I got a 98% on a paper then proceeded to fail the class.

I hate science and math, and now that I have so many issues writing papers I don't like English much, and though history is my best subject (and I considered majoring in it), the paper thing has killed it too. That's why I am throwing that all away and studying broadcasting instead, lol.

My #1 least favorite subject? English.

I'm better at logical things like math and science and although I'm good at grammar and spelling I can't write a decent essay to save my life. My writing skills are pretty much limited to stories, I find I can't write anything about how I feel about something, because I can't describe it, or I don't even care enough about the subject to have an opinion on it. I think my teachers would be able to see that I actually can be a good writer if there was more variety in the topics...but then again, if they suddenly give me an interesting one that actually inspires me for once, they'll probably see a huge difference in my writing and think I cheated... >.< So maybe that wouldn't be a good thing after all... What I hate is that english is seen as the MOST important subject...I mean, I know it's important, but THE MOST important? How? Doesn't that depend on what sort of job a person wants to get? o_o


PE was another one I hated. (Luckily I don't have to do it this year). My experiences were pretty similar to what a lot of people here said-I sucked at sports, was always picked last, group complained when they got stuck with me, etc...
