boring topic perhaps, but i still want to know.

Favourite - geography.

I was a pretty good student I suppose. Compared to my older siblings anyway I messed around a lot, but I still managed to get ok grades.

Art was my all time fave.

Next Favorite--English

I won a lot of spelling bees.

Least favorite-- I really can't think of one. I loved learning and was an honor roll student.

Favorite - English

LEAST favorite - Math

I was an average student. I hated school.

I hated school.

Favourite: Music, English and P.E.

I was also very interested in Maths, but only in my last couple of years at school.

Least: Chemistry.

My marks could have been better, because I never, ever studied. But I guess I was a good student to my teachers, because I was interested and my mind was ever-present. I wanted to learn, but I hated studying!

And I find this topic interesting! Certainly not a nonsense-thread.

My favorites were always the English and writing ones, but I also liked math.

Least favorite: P.E. was always really boring and worthless at my school.

Favorite(s) - Science, Art. Ilike almost all Art classes. Mainly ones in which I work with clay

Least - Math.

I loved History,,,,still do. Even though I was basically taught some distorted bullshit back in high school, but it still made me go back and challenge the sources.

Hated math, and its teachers. Something in the water they drink, its like the same math teacher I ever had,,,,ALL of them were assholes.

Mine was different! A fucking weirdo, yes, but so brilliantly weird and funny - everybody loved him. We had to be really good at maths, because he was working on a very high level with us especially, but he never lost his temper. Everybody simply knew that he is not unfair, but if you don't listen and try to understand you'll simply fail the class.

Brilliant man - after our school leaving exams he went out with us and told us to call him by his first name and drank with us. Still, this mysteriously weird barrier never left! Very awkward...

Favourite: English Literature

Least Favourite: All of the sciences

Favorite - Spelling and English in general.

Not so favorite - Math. I was never bad at it, I just didn't like it. Still haven't found a use for half the shit.

No credit for lessons learned under the bleachers.

Hey, I was a virgin all through high school. I just made out with dudes, that's it.

favourites:

chemistry

math

calculus

detested:

english

history

I was a great student, until I turned 16 and suddenlty found myself in 3 subjects with a boy I fell in love with from then on every school report said "far too much chatting and far too little concentrating in class"

Silly thing was in 2 of those subjects I had the highest grade in the whole school. In the other subject, well, I was lucky to get a C both years, as me and this boy spent those classes just whispering and giggling to each other all the time

Best subject: graphic communication/graphic techniques 97%

Worst: math 57%

Favourite - Math and History

Hated - Science

I liked the learning aspect... I liked math...

I hated the competition... the testing... I know it's part of the real world.

But that whole aspect diminished the love of learning for me.

I hate the competition in everything, not just school...

i guess i was a good student when i was in school...

my favorite subjects were english, social studies, and choir

my least fav were math, science, gym

elementary

favorite:Music And Language and Arts

Hated:Math

Middle School

Favorite: English And History

Hated: Math And Health Science

High school: English and History

Hated: algebra, geometry

I graduated second in my class and received more honors than everyone else in my class.

High school:

I hated science classes: Biology, Chemistry, and especially Physics. Physics was the only class I got a B in - ever.

I loved math, especially Calculus and Geometry, art, and Spanish (even though I wanted to take French, my hs only offered Spanish). I minored in French in college, and considered being a math major but chose Art History instead.

Undergrad:

I took Sociology to fulfill some sort of science requirement (as astronomy was notoriously difficult at my university) and thought it was the biggest crock of shit I'd ever heard. It was just making up new names for things that were common sense, imo. I hated that class. I was disappointed by my Intro to Philosophy class, but loved the class I took on Soren Kierkegaard. I was pleasantly surprised by my Poli Sci and Logic classes in college. I loved every single one of my art history classes but hated my studio classes (drawing especially).

I'm really a nerd.

Uh, me too. That's what I meant to say.
