What was your least favorite class and why?

This also your first day of High School ever ever ever?

Geometry - see Urbandictionary.com's Definitions of Geometry (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=geometry&defid=738250)

I swear, tho I got an A in that class somehow, it traumatized me

my least favorite class ever was algebra and geometry.

though it would have been gym if i hadn't had a kick-ass teacher.

that's the thing: a good teacher can make any subject great and a bad teacher dan make any subject boring and sucky...

This also your first day of High School ever ever ever?

No, I'm in the 8th grade, but I'm already scared to death at the thought of high school.

Man....I'm so glad to finally be out of 8th grade...9th grade starts the day after tomorrow...


I think my least favorite class will be Geometry...

Your school starts late. I started on August 19th.

C++ Programming, w00t.

Latin. Damn you, Romans! DAMN YOU!!!!!

They only make freshmen suck their dicks during the first day of school, don't worry.

Trust me, high school is way better than that bubble you call middle school.

However, I'm a junior and I'm already yearning for college,

I was actually sad to leave 8th grade. It was my best year in Middle School, and looking back there are so many thing's I wish I had done differently. Oh well, we all learn from our mistakes, and glad to say, I haven't made any like that since!!!

Anyway...least fav. subject: Wisconsin Studies. But if you don't live in Wisconsin, then you're safe from that horror!

I never had to take that..what kind of stuff did you learn in it?

Although I didn't take it until junior/senior year...pre-calc and calculus (especially calculus). I just couldn't seem to get the stuff in each unit until AFTER the test then I could get it no problem. It became really frustrating.

Anything amazingly boring.

Oh, you think it is horrible to have Wisconsin Studies? Be lucky you don't have to live in my state, probably the most boring class ever, if you lived here. Nebraska Studies, can't wait for that, sounds fascinating.

man high school sucks, dont get your hopes up

english is my worst class because i hate writing. im much more of a math/science guy.

Dude, take it from me. It's all downhill after kindergarten. I'm a junior now and high school has gotten boring. Even being in a new school and not knowing anyone is getting old. Damn, I have 10 more years to go (I'm wanna be a doctor).

High school has been INFINITELY better than middle school so far. As to my least favorite class, that would be intro to music. I'm not into art type classes at all, I just needed another solid, and that's all that was left that would fit into my schedule (I didn't actually sign up for classes until the 2nd day of that semester, tee hee). I hated the teacher, hated the projects, hated pretty much everything about the class, except when we got to watch Amadeus. We watched a movie production of Carmen too, that wasn't so bad, but I still wasn't wild about it. I think calculus would come in a close 2nd, but only because of the teacher. I had the same guy for 2 years (freshman and sophomore; I'm a junior now), and it totally turned me off of math. He didn't even seem to know what he was talking about half the time, and if you didn't understand something, he acted like you were retarded. I practically creamed my pants every time we had a substitute in that class, because it meant I wouldn't have to teach myself that day's lesson.

High school is a lot like enforced torture. At least in college you have a *bit* more freedom to choose what you study... but in college you have to deal with a different set of BS.

Wow, you're experience has been the exact opposite of mine. High school for me has been way better than middle school, which was way better than elementary school, and so on. I hated being a little kid. You never get to do anything fun, and everyone treats little kids like they're retarded. I think they just fail to realize that little kids know how condescending most adults are.

Besides, its usually high school when you get to start doing all those cool things like drinking, smoking pot, and having sex (okay, still working on that last one, but I'm "socially challenged", so give me a break).

:gundge: :gundge: :fluffle: :confused: :( im already there :sniper:







AHHH MOTHERLAND!!!!!!!!!

High school is great, if you liked a subject in middle school you'll like it in high school, unless your teacher turns out to be an idiot.

Latin. Damn you, Romans! DAMN YOU!!!!!
Latin is fun. Reva, tuus mater habet magnum gladium.
Sorry about that. I couldn't resist.

Identity and Ethnic Studies, but don't worry, if you don't go to Berkeley High School you're safe from that one.

Oh good God. In high school? I had to go through it in college but at least I skipped every lecture.

Yes, it is. Especially if it focuses on the history more then the grammar.

I'm in the 10th Grade and while I was a little scared, it passed over in a week or two. You start to meet people pretty quickly, unless you're going to a 1 000 plus student school, in which case it will take longer. Actually, I find High School to be heavily overrated and really not as amazing or different or what ever as some people make it sound. Classes are tougher, I actually found Latin very tough, although it was my best mark so I guess it wasn't too bad. I guess it depends too on what state you live in and what kind of high school you're going to.

Most are over 1,000 (Mines near 2,000, but its really two schools thanks to our f*cked up district)

I live in small town Canada, so we only have one over a thousand and few around 950 or so.

Go to NMMI! w00t!

Most are over 1,000 (Mines near 2,000, but its really two schools thanks to our f*cked up district)
Mine is about 2600, but a couple years ago it was up above 3000. They are trying to cut down on trasfers.

46 people in my senior class. You figure people would be closer in a smaller environment, but even with such a small pool the usual high school bullshit happens.

*whistles*

Well, we really don't have the room for that many people (literally gridlock in the halls during class changes), but I wouldn't put it past our districts to try it.

My worst classes were Geometry and Algebra I and II. Awful, awful teachers. Especially for Geometry. The little anal retentive fascist witch wanted all homework done in identical fashion and kept in identical notebooks. And I mean even the color of the folders.
She took serious points off if you didn't follow her little scheme to the T. I failed that class mostly out pure hatred for her.

Anything having to do with math= boring as hell
History classes, usually okay, so long as you don't get those teachers that sound like the guy from those yankee "dry eyes" commercials...But I love history, been taking college level stuff in history since I was 13...though American history always bored the hell outta me...

Least fav class was Calculus! Argh! Headache after headache!

Fav thing to do, Gaelic football! Most brutal, yet fun, sport ever!

Hehe... That's almost exactly what my U.S. History teacher sounded like. One day we had another teacher for a sub, who was about half his age and 10 times more energetic (as in uber-spastic; I'd had the guy for world history, but had gotten used to the other one), and I almost had a heart attack!

Well, last year I was in 9th grade and I took Pre-AP English, Science, PNW History, along with Wind Ensemble, Weight Training, and I signed up for Advanced Algebra……But apparently I aced the entry test and they thought that I belonged in Calculus….That class was hard as hell, made worse by like this like evil women that would perfectly fit in “Tales of the Crypt”……She couldn’t teach worth shit and some of the lessons she didn’t know how to solve, but that didn’t stop her from giving some unfortunate soul a pop-quiz in front of the entire class.....This is the way I will describe Calculus in my experiences………30% Pure Terror, 40% Crying and Frustration, 30% Pure Boredom…I managed to pass that class with a B-….The only good thing that came from that class is a few credits for classes I skipped…..But if you ever have to take it….RRRRUUUUUUNNNNNNNN….But other than the occasional teacher that is a !%@!#%$@ and a slight raise in difficulty, High School isn’t that different from Jr. High…..

Gym or Pre-Cal. Gym because it's gym and it sucks (for lack of a better word). Pre-Cal because it required 2 one hour tutorials a week in the morning.

Jiminey ... there are a lot of children here.

Oh, you think it is horrible to have Wisconsin Studies? Be lucky you don't have to live in my state, probably the most boring class ever, if you lived here. Nebraska Studies, can't wait for that, sounds fascinating.


Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where in Nebraska are you? I'm in Lincoln...and thats not even a class in our district. Please tell me you're joking. Because seriously, Nebraska has no history.


I hated Advanced Algebra with a passion. Not becuase I hate Algebra, but becuase my teacher gave us hell. There is a reasion we called her "Bitchmiester". Oral Com wasn't to hot, either. I'm great at rambling on about a subject, but public speaking makes me sick to my stomach. My final in that class was to pick a random topic and give an impromtu speach about it.

I drew Socks.

High School is just going up another number, I know I'm in 10th.

Hardest Subject? Geography is strangely easy, so I smell conspiracy.

Hardest Subject hmm... that'd be...

Oh my gosh they're all easy >_<

Well, so far my least favorite class has been Spanish. But I dropped that. My hardest has been AP History. My best, a tie between AP History, and Yearbook.

History. The liberals tried to corrupt me then. Just so they don't bamboozle you, there were no great gay people in American History... except the French.

Highschool? How cute.

Heh, how ironic. The conservatives are trying to corrupt me ;)

No, I'm in the 8th grade, but I'm already scared to death at the thought of high school.

Bah. High school's nothin'. You got nothing to be afraid of. You get to choose most of your classes, at least when you're an upperclassman. It's not hard at all, at least not any harder than grade school.

As for my least favorite class, any English class. I HATE English!!!! "Write a paper about what some bitch wrote 100 years ago." Fuck that!!

I'd rather read those books then listen to 50 Cent ;)

don't be. high school, while often being an annoying hassle, is better than jr high. though college blows everything else out of the water for sheer awesomitude. but i can't report anything on grad school yet because the university of hawaii is run by a bunch of indifferent assholes...

I'm gonna totally agree with this one.

From least to greatest:
Junior High (absolute shit)
High School (JUST AS SHITTY. But college is closer)
Elementary (Back when you're biggest worry was "I got tagged, now I'm it! :("
Tied between kindergarten and college. College is awesomeness personified. But kindergarten...ok, the lowest point of the day was not getting to go on the slide, you got snack time, and you could take a nap in the middle of the day (which is possible through careful planning in college :p). Kindergarted kicked ass.


Honestly, I didn't like high school at all, and I absolutly despise most high schoolers. I'm not kidding, they're some of the stupidest people in the known universe.

College is the shit :p




Now, to your original question...well, I've never been into science or math. However, you're going ot find that who your teacher is will play a MAJOR role. I enjoy government classes, but my senior gov teacher was a complete fucktard. I'm not kidding. I've actually visited my old high school JUST to torment with him. I hated him so hard. But...uh, right, personal vendettas aside, it all depends on what teachers you get.


Oh, and Philosophy of Ethics is an awesome class :p

I hope I'm joking. I've never heard of Nebraskan high-schoolers taking "Nebraska Studies", so I think there is a good chance that we don't have that class in this state. Like you said, Nebraska has no history, it seems. And actually, I think I had Nebraska Studies back in Social Studies Class in the 4th grade.

Go to NMMI! w00t!
AKKKKK
geez roach, i used to THREATEN my son that if he didnt shape up i'd send him to NMMI

highschool is all about getting the right TEACHERS

a good teacher makes the worst subject interesting, a bad one can make "the history of nebraska football" dull.

find out who the best teachers are, esp in the subjects you arent strong in, and find a way to get into their classes next year. its way worth the effort.

I'm gonna totally agree with this one.

You thought Junior High was that bad? Why? I already like middle school way more than elementary school, moving from classroom to classroom seems to make the day go faster. Kindergarten was okay, but I was really shy and didn't know anyone so it was kind of miserable. I suppose I would have had more friends if I would have talked a little more. One girl in my class even asked me if I knew how to talk.

Physical Education. It blew.

Religious Education a close second (Catholic School)...

And after that, Music. Not that I hate music itself, quite the opposite, but the classes mostly revolved around everyone discussing how "good" blink-182 were. Ugh. We never played any instruments in it. It was a good waste of time though.

and you could take a nap in the middle of the day (which is possible through careful planning in college :p)

Dead straight :D
