Title: The subject you hated most in school - POLL
Post by: Localonthe8s on August 11, 2007, 09:05:43 PM
If you are/were in school and/or college, what was your worst subject? I flunked and still am bad at Algebra.

I picked English / Reading.. I always found that so pointless and boring...

On another note, I noticed Gym wasnt on the list :P

English/reading. I am not good at remembering what I read or listened, and most of the time I get the lowest grade in those subjects (though last year I got A's all four marking periods for that subject).

2 subjects for me:

Math - I was never good at it

English/Reading - Its too easy for me, so i get bored, and drift off, and don't hear anything the teacher says.

It's the opposite for me. Many of the topics from my ninth grade math class last year were stuff I learned as far back as third grade. It was so boring I wasn't paying attention half the time. :wacko:

Mine was math. I never got past Algebra 1. If I wouldn't have dropped out I would've probably been the only senior in an Algebra 1 class.  :D

It had to be College English. I hate doing term papers, especially when the professor picks it apart and find every single problem. Most papers have to be done by hand first before a computerized rough draft can be submitted.

I'll take a term paper any day over a test on any subject in algebra.  :D

I don't know if gym after lunch is a good idea. You could throw up pretty easily. :-\

English/Reading.  I hate everything about it....especially the reading.  I dont comprehend well, usually because i am not into the whole reading thing.

English is fine though... except i hate doing the parts of a sentence and grammer crap.

I doesn't understand why those peoples would make us go through that darn grammer crap :crazy: :unsure:

Math has been my favorite subject since the 4th grade, so much that I finished Pre-Calculus and Calculus prior to my high school graduation. I love numbers period.

Wow,I wish I was that good. I wouldn't be stressing right now over the math part of the GED test if I was that good at math.  :D

just use a calculator.
Title: Re: The subject you hated most in school - POLL
Post by: Bob on August 14, 2007, 09:20:59 PM
Calculus was a little challenging, though. I remember doing the first exam for the subject and I had a "C" on it, which I was a little surprised. I, ultimately tightened up and had an A- overall average, which kept my honors points added to my existing GPA.

Speaking of which, I remembered the days when calculators were banned in my school district until I was in Algebra I was in the 9th grade.

Only allowed to use a calculator for half the test. What purpose would would allowing the use of a calculator for the entire test serve?

Mine is Gym. I know it's to keep you healthy, but all we do is sports, and I hate sports. I'm really good in the other subjects, particularly science. 8)

Well I have to do in 8 hours what it takes you 12 years to do-earn my diploma. On such an important test, calculator use is undoubtedly very limited.

I had joint problems from birth so PE for me can get pretty challenging often.

I voted for 'Other'

In High School, it was Speech class (where you learn to do various presentations in front of people); I was always nervous.

In College, it was any class dealing with Java Programming (teachers were not that great) - though I don't think I would mind Java now, it doesn't seem too bad.
