What was your least favourite subject at school?

[CynBeth]

Math!

 

[runwad]

Geometry in high school and in college my worse class was Probabilities

 

[Disney Doll]

Math in any form.

 

[loves to dive]

Math and anything related to it. I wasn't good at it and I was normally a straight A student so it really bothered me. It didn't help that my Daddy was an engineer and he couldn't understand why I couldn't get it. My son got Daddy's genes, he is a math science whiz, took advanced calculus college for an elective easy A.

History (social studies). SO boring learning from textbooks. But then when I started homeschooling my kids, it became one of my favorite subjects!

 

[Mermaid02]

All of it. I absolutely hated school. My grades were good, but I didn't like anything about school. The only thing I found interesting was history.

 

[dotfurio]

I hated US history and government the most, but I was worst at Algebra.

The only thing we have to hate about school is school itself.

What's the difference between school and prison? You get to leave school at 3 o'clock.

Honestly if I had it to do over again I would have just worked toward my GED test starting in intermediate school pass it by what would have been my Freshman year and go right on to Junior College (Back then that would have been the only route not involving a high school diploma.)

I got very little out of intermediate school. I did get a bit out of high school. But not enough to justify having to go for four years. I learned more my first semester at college quite frankly.

I was never a big fan of math. My sixth grade teacher was fantastic but my teachers in seventh and eighth grades were less than stellar. Despite a mediocre middle school math background I still managed to pull high Bs and low As in honors math in high school with lots of effort. That effort didn’t go so far in Honors Pre-Calculus where I squeaked out a B-. I also had to take Intro to Physics as part of the honors freshman science credit and I hated t, because it was way too much math... the same with chemistry. I loved biology, though.

My favorite classes were English and U.S. History II.

 

[Sabeking]

Math.....solve your own problems!!!!!!!!

 

[jaiminee krikit]

Social Studies/History and Science. I liked my Biology class, only because my teacher was awesome, but everything else, I would rather be at the dentist.

High School: Geometry. Postulates, which by definition are statements made without any proof.

College: Philosophy. Didn't need it to graduate, and the only class I ever dropped. I hung in for the first few weeks, but when the Professor posed questions, the first answer that always came into my mind was "why would anyone care?"

Looking at the two subjects, I guess my dislike for both is because I am a person who sees things as black and white, fact or fiction, with little gray area in between.

 

[Klayfish]

Even though I was really good at math, I can understand why people wouldn't like it.

But why all the hate for gym? That was the easiest part of the day. No homework, no tests.

 

[wgeo]

I loved school - hated gym, but loved school. So I was unnerved by how hard French was - took it for 4 years and I really should have known a lot more of it when I was done than I really did in practice.

Ironically I have a niece who watches TV shows and just naturally picks up the language from watching them, she learned Japanese after watching anime and is fluent in Spanish already. It must be a gift!

 

[ols386]

Didn’t like Algebra.

Liked English, History, Government, Spanish, Gym.

 

[Skippy918]

I hated gym, English and History class. Didn’t like art class much either.

 

[jsmla]

Physics!

I was a very lazy student and luckily did well in other subjects but Physics was a unravelable tangle of mystery to me. No matter how much I studied I'd get my test and it was always like I'd never even been in class.

I was a huge fan of the liberal arts where I could BS my way around the fact that I didn't know the answer.

 

[Happyinwonerland]

I hated gym. It was so ill timed. I love working out, but not in my school clothes first thing in the morning so I stink all day, or right after lunch so I feel sluggish.

Most things about public school subjects annoyed me, I much prefer to work my own pace in independent study courses.

 

[Kitty 34]

Art and Government. Coincidentally I did three different long terms in my subbing career in art!

 

[AppleDumpling]

Add me to the list of those who hated gym/PE. Except for the one week a year we did trampoline. Everything else was focused on team sports and we had no choice in the activities.

It was the stereotypical scene: the teacher picked the two most popular, most athletic kids to be captains, and they got to choose their teams. I was an unpopular, uncoordinated nerd. And back then, girls had to wear these really ugly and uncomfortable gymsuits. Ugh, I’d rather be in math class.
