What is or what was your Least Favorite Subject in school

Post Reply New Topic

History because I couldn't stand the teacher and math because I suck at it.

Maths up to GCSE (age 15/16) because the formulas were too much and tbh I just didn't see any meaning in them and where they could possibly benefit me in the future, so I suffered from an invisible wall thing and got all panicky about tests and homework. However I knew I was pretty good at it, in the top set all the time (the threat of moving down a set started my problem in the first place, but I did improve) - found my 2 GCSE papers easy and got a high A overall
Psychology at AS level (age 16/17) cos I couldn't remember the names, dates and what experiments they did, methods, findings etc it was too much and they teacher just dictated and as a visual/kinetic learner this was absolutely no help whatsoever. I had many panics, developed an eating disorder and depression and was mighty chuffed at my grade E
Not saying I particuarly liked English, but that was one of, if not my strongest subject, I have always been good with grammar and spelling and things you need in English. Should have done the A level instead of psychology

Maths and PE.

I am, to a mild extent, slightly impaired in my ability to calculate numbers in my head; I still have huge gaping holes from nursery and reception where we were learning 1 + 1 = 2, and I still cannot calculate fluently in my head something simple such as 6 + 8. It can take me as much as 7 or 8 seconds to do an 'easy' sum such as that. A family member, in an attempt to put a stop to this and correct my holes from very early childhood, called a woman from Kumon (I hate Kumon >.<) to set me a practice paper, which I would do under her supervision, and then she would put forward the plan which would 'help' me. Oh, I will never forget that day. I sat, sweaty, under her beady eyes, trying to complete under pressure this paper which was really meant for 7-year-olds, with sums like ' 7 + 4 ' and ' 18 - 5 '. She was drawing lines all over the paper with red pen, distracting me from my already confused state, trying to manipulate these numbers whilst they floated around my brain. When I got my results back I was completely mortified, I had got up to around nine or ten questions wrong and she was basically initiating that I was stupid, without actually saying so. Thankfully, my mum didn't like the woman, so I didn't have to go to Kumon, thank goodness

I also find it difficult to focus on mental maths, however I can understand the advanced concepts fine.

PE is almost as bad, my teacher hates me and thinks I am deliberately clumsy to disrupt her lessons. She also thinks I am not motivated, and won't try. Well, excuse me - I am trying as hard as I can, but that doesn't mean I am going to perform like all the other teens in my class! Sports with a ball I am worst at - I am so bad at judging where the ball is in relation to me, that I don't even bother half the time. All I get is my team yelling at me and how stupid I am and why don't I just get a life? PE has generated much anger and annoyance to me... BUT, swimming is alright. In fact, I rather enjoy it. Also, one of my favourite ongoing interests was horses, where my horse-riding passion was born. This was the best thing ever... until I was forced to stop when I broke my arm.

I hated Maths and I still do

English (though my teacher this year is hilarious) and foreign languages.

PE, English, RS and French. I remember once in French I was asked to say the numbers between 1 and 10 in French, and I'm so bad at it I pronounced 'dix' (10) as 'dicks'.

Math. English and History and Spanish were my favorites.

Gym and Drama. I refused to go to school because of these two subjects - the most painful time of my life.

i hated english the most...we had soo much to read and usually the books we read were pretty boring.

Geometry, Algebra, Chemistry... Pretty much anything numerical.
I've also always hated American history. I love reading about ancient history, though.

My least favourite lessons in school were definitely PE, drama and French.

At School - History - All those horrible essays
At College - Further Maths - only doing it 'cos the boy I sit next to is highly amusing but the homework makes me want to die :'(

math!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

I absolutely hate PE. Team sports are too stressful and people get impatient with me because I'm clumsy. I love art though. I'm not as good at it as the other people in my class but I can express my thoughts and feelings better through pictures than through speech. I don't like maths class much. I'm good at it, but when I'm trying to work out a sum all I can hear is my classmates writing and fidgeting and it makes it almost impossible to concentrate.

MATH! Mostly algebra and anything with numbers. Cannot keep them straight.
Spanish, cause the teacher is no good.
i actually like chemistry, even with all th math in it. the experiments are great.
English is easy.
I can't say anything about PE because i don't have to take it.

Math for me.
