so what was your worst/ most pointless subject at school?? mine was history.... boring as hell!!

i may put a poll in a bit if some intrest gets going.

Philosophy. Can there be anything more boring than that?

Um...my worst subject was recess and lunchtime. I liked Maths, but couldn't really understand it. I loved English, and I'm a slave to science.

Some elements of Maths gets on my nerves, but I suppose the English lessons I had in primary where we had to be "neat and tidy". I opted for legibilty and efficiency.

Math, I origionally liked it, had a natural aptitude, but then I was in a class with some arseholes and I simply hated it because I had to sit next to them. Then of course my grades started dropping as a result and I fell further and futher behind. It got so much worse when I didn't buy this $100 calculater which you really needed in order to do some of the problems.:(

Chemistry. Never liked it, never used it.

Hmm PE careers Health
It was down right pointless but playing sport was great and it took away time from a real subject so less real work! :D

I like all my subjects... even stuff like Philosophy is interesting. Accounting can get very long winded but I find it very interesting.

I bought a calculator of 150€ and my grades started to get up fast. You really need one of those.

Physical Education.

Closely followed by Religious Education. (Catholic school)

Gym sucked. I was master at doing nothing and getting an A in gym. I'm just not very good at any sports. So in dodgeball, I'd just round up the balls and have a guy throw them for me. :)

I concur with Kanabia. Phys. Ed. and Sport (AND! Do you comprehend the horror? We had to do TWO subjects based around the concept of running around like an idiot until one fell over! GAHHHHH!)

...

Luckily I trained all my sport/phys. ed. teachers quickly. By second term they'd stop bugging me about wearing a sports uniform (our school doesn't have a 'school uniform', but we have one for sport sessions), and by third term they'd tell everyone else to go play football/tennis/badminton, and tell me to go sit in the shade and read. Yay!

PE! Playing hockey on a frozen solid/horribly muddy (depending on the weather) pitch, getting hit with hockey sticks, getting cold and wet, having to go in goal with no pads on...

PE was horrible :(

We had a compulsory cadet corps, unless you were in a school team, in which case you could practise that. So me and a couple of mates formed a Bridge team, and stayed in playing cards instead of drilling in the cold and wet. :D

Afrikaans.

My worst subject for 2 reasons:

1) It was compulsory in South Africa.
2) It is a completely local language and there was no benefit to learning it considering I was planning on living overseas.

There's always a benefit to learning a foreign language - you never know when it might come in handy, and you will be much more employable if you speak more than one language. Plus Afrikaans is pretty similar to Dutch, so there's another group of people you can talk to straight off.

the worst subject i have to learn would be irish, il never use it and its a complete waste of time/money!!

I'm going with dutch (my native language) in the last years: a complete waste of time.

Pacific Northwest History, which is Washington State Oregan and Idaha (america), very boring

I detested Maths with a burning passion. I was so glad when I somehow managed to pass my GCSE in it so as I could then give the sodding thing up.

I hated Games and PE when I actually did them, but luckily managed to work out a system of being able to skive off all the time without them noticing :p

I also disliked Geography and Geology - though that was mainly because of the arsehole teachers, rather than the subject matter.

poll added

Philosophy. Can there be anything more boring than that?

Yes, just about all other subjects.

The worst is not necessarily the most pointless. My worst was Latin
Most pointless English Literature. (I can read for myself thank you)

Sociolgy, without doubt! Although I sometimes enjoyed it, it was proffered as a science when it is, in fact, not even close to being a science.

Erk. I picked a sociology subject for second semester later this year...

I voted other because my most hated and worst subject was math. MATH! I will never be a party to the abomination that is mathS. I have to listen to so many Limeys and Auzzies and Kiwis over here repeat maths fifty times a day in an endless drone like buddists chanting and I can't take it I am caracking up. . .oh God.

Math was evil, History devine.
