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

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.

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...

38. Our school had a good sports program. |
|
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.

25. I admit it. I'm a geek. |

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. :)

27. almost always the foreign languages and english/literature classes |
|
Edited on Mon May-22-06 11:42 PM by Endangered Specie
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

28. Continuous learning = always hating a class |
|
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.

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.)

35. Math sucks (Jimmy Buffett) |
|
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

42. Organic chemistry in college |

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.
