Your Favourite Subjects At School?

maths
arithmetic
history.

I found maths and arithmetic so easy. done a test one time in the classroom and scored 98/100. teacher thought I was cheating and more or less accused me of it. reason being, I took little interest in his class and always sat at the back, so I told him to set up more questions and I would do them again. he set up another 10 questions and I aced them all in a couple of minutes.

 

P.E.....nothing else remotely compared.

 

In fact, the days when i got PE were the only days i never dogged school.

 

PE, History and if I had to pick another...English I guess.

Only really started liking History in the last couple of years at school. The only thing that would have been better is the actual topics we covered. World War 1 & 2 are incredibly fascinating to research, but Russia in the late 19th/early 20th century was boring as *. Would have much rather had the French Revolution or American Civil War.

 

@Dear Hunter Funnily enough I always found Russia the most fascinating.

 

Modern Studies...

We had brilliant Modern Studies teachers...politically minded who hated Thatcher, they were a big influence..

One of them was Polish and had had to flee Poland during the Solidarity movement, interesting man and he taught me how to be a decent Chess player too.

Tbf.. I would have picked Geography, History and Modern Studies, could only pick one and had to take French..

My French teacher was vile so just to * her off during the Oral exam with the national assessor, I replied 'Je nes comprends pas!' to every question apart from Bonjour..*... ..

 

Fair enough.

It was a mixed bag. * Sunday and Lenin were always decent enough, but when it came to land reforms...brutal.

 

I done the French Revolution at Uni...boring as *. A potted history is interesting, when when you have to read book after book on it, it starts to grate. Dont remember a thing about it now, such was my interest.

 

Good point. It's because it's such a broad subject, there's going to be some topics that just bore you to tears.

The Vikings was a fun topic in like second year at high school. I'd have loved to have done that again later in school.

 

Completely true.

I went to a a pretty * school, most of the teachers didn't really seem to care and it fed into the students who would then become distruptive, vicious circle.

The ones who actually engaged with you and talked to you properly got on a lot better with controlling the classroom.

 

Herbology, potions and the dark arts

 

Fuckall, was a * in school.

Dogged it, went in full of drink, suspened, fought with *, took drugs. Pretty * up childhood tbh, had other stuff on my plate and school was a distraction to that.

If I had to pick I'd say physics, was pish at it but I kind of enjoyed it.

If I could go back now and stick in I wouldn't have a second though.

 

English
Latin
Music

 

History and Biology..then later on English.

 

maths

 

History the rest was just boring as *

 

Computing
History
Philosophy/Religious Studies (not compulsory R.E.)

 

History Hence why I'm currently doing a History degree to become a History teacher
