Your 3 favourite and most hated school subjects!

[Gemini]

A maths discussion on another thread got me thinking about this.

At school I hated Maths, PE and Needlework.

I loved English, Art and Biology

(I wasn't allowed to continue to O level with biology, as all my others were arts subjects. I took my biology O Level in my late 20s and got an A though )

Maths! Bad teaching, PE - hated hockey, and amazingly, geography for three years due to a totally incompetent teacher. I love it now and find it the most fascinating of subjects as covers both the arts and the sciences. That was due to a geographer colleague who showed me how fascinating it is.

The favourites, no contest. History, English and Art.

Hated, Oh how I hated, Maths. The teacher was our Deputy Head and he was very frightening. I used to have sleepless nights worrying about it. I still have a number phobia. I loved PE, English, French, Housecraft,

This is so true

[Libra Gran]

Loved English, history , cookery or domestic science as it was called and netball. History still interests me,especially old buildings/ churches. Hated maths with a vengeance and geography.

[Elisi]

Hated Maths, geography, and all sport!

Loved English language and literature, History, Divinity (as we called it then) French and needlework.

[Shemadee]

Loved English and history, tolerated other subjects but detested maths and science!

I had an excellent history teacher both at junior and senior school. Six weeks of a bad history teacher whose idea of history was to learn by heart the lists of dates in the back of the text books with no context whatsoever. No wonder some people hated history!

[Enfys]

Loved History, English and art. Hated maths, geography and needlework. Now however, I enjoy sewing and like finding out about different countries and travelling.

I hated Maths (terrified of ogre ...., sorry, teacher!). I only did one term of Needlework, but hated every single stitch and every single minute. Hated Domestic Science (ditto as for Needlework, except that the room was being decorated so all we learned was how to sweep floors and wash hairbrushes!) I was delighted to be able to drop them and take Latin instead - that's how bad it was!!!

I loved Chemistry, English Language and Art. I also loved French once we got rid of a horrible, miserable teacher! I quite enjoyed History, but what I have always been grateful for is the way the teacher taught us to make notes - it's stood me in good stead on every course I've done.

It's so awful that so many of us were put off subjects by poor or unsympathetic and downright unkind teachers.

[Shemadee]

We had a lesson on cleaning a comb and hairbrush. Also how to wash, starch and iron a table napkin! Very useful especially as I had been doing the washing and ironing since I was seven years old!

[Daisy]

Shem - you must have felt that was a total waste of your time. I found it irritating and petty that in Needlework tacking stitches had to be neat and even. Why? You were going to remove them before long! I actually asked that question and the teacher couldn't (or wouldn't) give me an answer. She was probably very relieved that I ended up doing Latin!

[Plantaholic]

I was good at art and needlework, enjoyed games, biology and most other subjects except history.
