Which Subjects at school did you dread?

[TomLee475]

I would say

RE so dull
and Science - boring

Maths and PE.

Irish and PE! So I switched to a school that didn’t do PE And I was so flipping happy!! But Irish was compulsory so couldn’t avoid that 😭

PE
Geography
Woodwork / Metalwork
Art (one particular teacher)

P.E. I absolutely hated it.

Didn't mind anything else quite so much.

Art because I can’t draw for toffee. DT because that combined having to draw really detailed things really neatly on massive sheets of A3 paper and then make the bloody thing that I’d drawn badly out of MDF. I used to do a deal with one of the boys in my class that I would do his French homework if he would make my DT projects for me. Worked very well for years he also rewired a plug for me when we had to do that in physics and various other practical tasks through secondary school!
I also hated geography and each week in year 8 and 9 told my teacher I had a flute lesson (even though it was on a rotating timetable) and me and my other flute playing friend would skive off to the music room and play flute duets. The Head of Music didn’t seem to mind and would sometimes pop his head round and offer us different pieces of music to practice or accompany us. I passed my geography exams in year 8/9 with flying colours despite skiving half the lessons and only got busted in my last ever parents evening with that teacher when he seriously told my mum that I was showing real potential In the subject but he understood that my music lessons were very important 🤦‍♀️😂 I’m now a music teacher and so is my other flute playing friend so it obviously didn’t do us any harm!

Maths. Dyscalclia meant it was excruciating.

I’m angry about it when I think back. Why the actual fuck did no one think... hang on, why is crosser getting 1/30 on maths tests... EVERY FUCKING TIME THERES A TEST?
But no, no one did and so I was tortured for years and years.

English Lit - didn't dread it, just found it boring. Especially analysing poems. I love reading though!
DT - I was scared of the drills/saws, especially the big electrical one by the wall.

My favourites were RE, history, and chemistry/physics.

Maths in yr 10 and 11. Got a D in my GCSE for it. Decided nope I'm going to crack this and retook it the following year. Ended up getting a B! Huzzah! Then tried it for an A-Level, ended with another B.

Now though, I hate working out anything number related ☺️

I dreaded maths & PE.

I loved languages & humanities, and didn't mind the rest.

PE- I was very self conscious and had a lot of obnoxious tears in my class.
Maths- i found it so boring

Hmm, I think subjects I dreaded just came under the umbrella topic of "school "

English - both the teacher and the texts were incredibly dull.

Almost everything other than English and RE. But maths was the worst. I just didn't get it. Got an E at school despite being in set 1!! Got a C at college.
My school days were pretty shite looking back.

Latin
PE

English and History - so so boring to me
Loved math and science.

PE - hated everything about it
French - always struggled to get the hang of it so ended up in the lowest class where it was just kids messing about and we never actually got any work done

Maths - I was shite at it but luckily my teacher took pity on me and just let me do my best

Physics - loved the topics, hated the teacher

PE - actual torture

Home Economics - Psycho teachers and awful recipes

Art (teacher was horrible to me)
Latin although I quite liked learning the whole
Amo, amas, amat but I could not make any sense of it.

Loved maths and physics - little puzzles to solve

Sewing
PE
Maths
In that order!

Art I was so terrible at it and made to feel humiliated by the teacher constantly

Oh and languages. They just did not click at all for me.

French. Vile bully of a teacher.

History. Not the subject, the teacher. He was so dull. I never learned what appeasement was. We were horrendous to him. He bought the headmaster in to observe. Don't know why he didn't chuck us all in detention.

PE. Standing around in a field in your knickers freezing your tits off in the rain. Horrible, sadistic teachers who thought it was funny to publicly humiliate non-sporty kids.

Art. A completely pointless waste of time.

I loved maths & physics because there were no grey areas, no bullshit and no subjective waffle. There was only one correct answer and if you calculated it and showed your working, the examiners had no option but to award full marks. I knew the A grades were in the bag before I opened the exam papers.

LightDrizzle, I'd forgotten about PE and sewing! Only did sewing when I was little, embroidery etc. I hated it. Also hated games with a vengeance.
