Favorite School Subject
 
Whether you are still going to school or if you have moved on long ago, what was/is your favorite subject in school?

Leto 04-23-2006 01:09 AM

Music. Pretty much the only reason to go to the anusplace. Nothing better than being in a room full of musicians.

Slig_Cake 04-23-2006 01:25 AM

phys ed was obviously good

food tech was awesome. make ur own pies and cakes u get to eat.

but nothing beats geography

Munch's Master 04-23-2006 03:32 AM

PE's good, especially when its Rugby season (Which is only the first half-term of each year, unfortunately).
Art and Drama are fun too, I prefer the creative subjects to the purely academic. Although history and English are alright in moderation. And Slig_Cake, I have to disagree with you. Geography sucks. It sucks whale penis.

Oddish 04-23-2006 06:09 AM

Art & Design and Graphics.

Creative Writing. Everything else sucks ass except for Music theory.

Science and art classes.

My favorite science class is the one I'm taking right now: Anatomy and Physiology. Interesting human body shtuffs... Plus, we get to cut up gross things and watch disgusting videos.

My favorite art class is also the one I'm taking right now. General advanced art. I know my teacher really well, and there were no other advanced art classes that I could fit into my schedule, so he lets me do my own projects--whatever I want--during his Art I class. Pretty awesome.

Also, these are two of the four last classes I'm ever taking in high school. Graduation is May 18th! Huzzah!

Lucky you, we have to wait until early June before we have summer.

Havoc 04-23-2006 09:21 AM

Art class. Gotta love doodling or smeering paint in some new-kids face XD.

SeaRex 04-23-2006 11:49 AM

I would say "art," but that's cheating.

My favorite academic class is English. To me, it's an art form in itself. You arrange words and sentences in such a way that it becomes pleasing to the viewer, not unlike how you arrange an artistic composition to be aesthetically interesting.

I enjoy writing, which is why my posts are usually so long.

Dark Elite_H2 04-23-2006 11:52 AM

Indefinitely art is my favorite scool subject, 'cause I like to draw. :D (Pretty obvious)
But, akademickly (academically) it would be PE, or Math. (Yes, math)
Because- I like to be active, not that I am...
and Math, 'cause it's really easy (sometimes) to understand.

Better than a room full of Molko clones? For shame.

My favorite class? Well, we only have one kind of class where I go, and they have succeeded in sucking all of the enjoyment out of art.

Do I have any? Yeh that's right, I Pissed of my german teacher in my first year, when I did exams in the 4th year, I didn't have any of her classes for 4 yrs, so definantly german!

Wil 04-23-2006 02:12 PM

Maths. Always has been, really. It's the only subject I can put my all into at the moment, but sadly it's the only one my going to university doesn't depend upon. Woe!

Geography was bloody crazy! All the trips to woop woop lands and smokin pot. The shit we were laughin at was kinda sad, but it was good fun.

What are you? Five?

oddveteran93 04-23-2006 09:56 PM

My favourite subject is probably music. All I have to do for this Term is play 10 songs on the school's "grand piano". How easy is that? And I also love Food Tech. I only hate PE because of the teacher (if you can call him that). But I really hate my class. They talk so much I already have about 6 class detentions scheduled for this week :|

School suck monkey scrotum as far as I'm concerned

Slig_Cake 04-23-2006 09:58 PM

ur a funny prick sekto, but sometimes I get the impression you just come on these forums to rip ppl. What do u think ur better or somethin because ur a 'super sting bee' and im a 'fuzzle'?

What is it you 'do' anyway?

Leto 04-23-2006 11:09 PM

It's plain and simple, Slig_Cake: It's not because you're a new person, it's because you're a total bastard.

Slig_Cake 04-24-2006 12:41 AM

oh ok fair enough

SeaRex 04-24-2006 04:36 AM

What the Hell, people? Don't make me get out my Warn Stick.

I don't know what people's problems have been lately, but it seems like anyone and everyone is becoming a cantankerous bastard, and the people that are already cantankerous bastards are becoming even bigger cantankerous bastards.

So stop it. Seriously.

Dancing Steef 04-24-2006 04:39 AM

Art & design, music and english.

Oh yea, German can be heaps of fun! How I loved playing around with the German teacher and he couldn't do anything about it because I had the principal on my side of the matter :D. It was hilarious :).

OANST 04-24-2006 05:45 AM

English. I loves ta speaks best then yous.

dripik 04-24-2006 05:47 AM

English was my favourite when I still had those lessons. I always liked language lessons, I had Latin too, and now I'm learning German. And, there's also Art and Computer Science.

Alcar 04-24-2006 06:27 AM

Yeah, stop the bashing people. I haven't seen Slig_cake do anything but be brutally honest. Perhaps it's because we both hail from down under, but everything I've ever seen him say is fine.

As for my favourite subject, I've long since had a Physical Education class, damn higher grades - but to tell you the truth, it'd have to be Mathematics. I guess it's one of the only subjects I really understand, and perhaps because when you get an answer correct, you know that it really is correct, things are strict and make sense in maths. There is no grey area.

Other than maths, I really enjoy Physics and Chemistry. Albeit, I very rarely make an appearance in class, I still love how it's entirely comprehendable. And the fact that I show those smart Asians how a Skip puts them to shame (nothing intended as racial abuse, just a joke about the humourous side of Australian schools and how they are overrun with ultra-genious-smart Asians).

You see, this is why my school sucks. You got to go on trips and stuff. I've had 1 Geography trip since forever, and its the only trip of any kind I've had in-school for 4 years.

....Math.(yes, math)

Its Maths! The English invented the language, so we know what the words are! ;)

English and drama,I get the most work done in my R.E class, not becuase I like R.E , becuase the teacher will torture you if you dont do enough work

Glukinator 04-24-2006 03:36 PM

Lunch doesn't count. It's not a class of any kind. And don't give me "lol, but it da clas wear u lern 2 eet!"

Nate 04-24-2006 07:44 PM

I wasn't originally going to post in this thread but I REALLY wanted to kick my postcount over to 3000 today and not have to wait until next time I'm online :p

It's been a while since I was in school but I think the most fun class I had was Media studies, because we spent most of the time watching movies. How can you complain about a year 12 (final year of school) subject where you come in the first day and the teacher puts on a Bond movie? Or a subject where a third of your grade comes from a 1500 word essay comparing social values in Dawson's Creek to Welcome Back Kotter.

Now that I'm in university I'd say that my favourite classes are the computer programming ones, simply because I'm rather good at it.

EDIT: Wolvark Shooter - woohoo!

Mojo 04-24-2006 11:06 PM

Physics and Peh (To quote Earl from Cow and Chicken). Managed to do 2 days of the Bachelor study of Applied Physics, but, alas, I got placed for Medicine, which has aNumerus Fixus, meaning there's only so many spots for students, while AP has infinite (okay, I like to exaggerate (sp)) spots.

Gawd, how I wish I had stayed with AP now...

The Marching Mudokon 04-25-2006 08:09 PM

My favourite subject in highschool is Media. Like nate_dog_woof said, you get to watch movies but you also get to make movies, music clips, sound stories and etc. Plus you get to play with shiny cameras.

Seargentbig 04-25-2006 08:33 PM

I've never liked PE that mich - I don't dislike it, but I'm not too good at it. It probably has something to do with the fact that I can hide behind a piece of string.
I liked art and drama, which I was somewhat good at, but I dropped them both this year so that I could have other subjects, now that there are about six different sciences you can do. I don't really like english, either: getting us to compare, analyse... don't get me wrong, I'm fine with reading, I just don't like to scrutinise the words.
I suppose my favorite sublect now is geology. Only on the other side of nowhere, will someone say that.

Nate 04-25-2006 10:39 PM

Yeah, I don't think English needs to be taught past year ten. Once you have reasonably literacy and can write an essay if needed they should stop. In the last two years of school, all you really learn is how to overanalyse books and how to write styles of essays that you'll never actually need (eg argumentative essays).

Good sir! We write argumentative essays here every day! :p

I can't speak for Australia, but I certainly think that English needs more focus here in America, where the majority of people can't convey their ideas in a coherent way. Discussions in English classes are also great for sparking philosophical conversations that some Americans otherwise wouldn't be involved with.

I think what really turns people off of English are assignments on books that are above the students' comprehension. Some teachers choose books like Melville's "Billy Budd" and Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" because they're short, when neither of these books need to be taught below the 12th Grade (probably Australia's year 13?). It's not that they're hard to read; I've read both. It's just that the majority of students that would be reading them do not have enough "world experience" to walk away from the book with significant meaning... this is especially true for writers like Faulkner. I've met one person under thirty that likes (and understands) Faulkner.

So, in summation, I like my opinion, but you're point is just as valid. Higher English really isn't too practical. XD

Really, I don't even believe that grammar rules are that important (mainly because I could never remember them all!). I don't give a shit what a "gerund" or a "participle" is, but dammit, I can write a paper. English is all about forming coherent opinions, in my... opinion. ;)

Ninjaxe 04-26-2006 05:07 AM

I would say Biology and Physics and maths

biololgy was a skive...as I just memorised the theory involved.
Physics...none of experiment worked.

hated English...teachers despised me.

Scrab Watcher 04-26-2006 09:25 AM

Art is first. I like to draw, and although it requires long hours of homework, I enjoy the subject. It's also an opportunity to use materials that I wouldn't normally use, such as silk and clay. There's also the satisfaction of knowing that while some people are dragging themselves to subjects that bore them, I'll be drawing.

I'm also fond of science. However, this year I have the worst science teacher in the school. She doesn't explain, give notes, or even properly read the textbook. She was convinced that vaccums have no gravity! When I asked why things fell in them if there was no gravity she sat there for five minutes and then said she'd get back to me. -_-'

Wil 04-26-2006 11:58 AM

If we're talking about extra-curricular lessons, then actually I love sign language the best, by far.
