What was/is your best and worst subject in high school (grades 9-12, years 14-18)?
Me--worst--English literature, algebra
Best--geometry, history, other languages
Best: English, art
Worst: History, politics
Currently (in 10th grade)...
Best: English (108% in this class last grade report I got!), Geometry, Integrated Chemistry and Physics (Basically just learning chemistry, then physics), and Spanish (1st year)
Worst: History (Too much homework that I don't do)
I'm a fast learner and I can memorize things easily, all I have to do is just read it, and it's in my memory, and it stays there for quite a while, too! This helps out a lot for taking Spanish tests, and after I memorize the words, I can easily use them from that point on. In biology class last year, I never got a single classification wrong! And half way through the summer break, I felt like I could still remember the classifications, but I didn't quiz myself.
Best: Art, History, English Literature, Georgraph (bring on them maps!)
Worst: Physics (my report in form 3 -- aged 14 -- read 'Paul showed little evidence of interest, effort or aptitude all year but still managed a reasonably creditable result in his exam, he must pass on his method to others!'), PE, Latin (although I think this was down to the fact that none of my Latin teachers had ANY interest in the subject).
Biggest disappointment: in my school if you wanted to do Art you couldn't do Biology, the only science I had any interest in.
worst: english, sociology
best: math, chemistry
My worst was attendance. The environment got to be increasingly like a prison, so I decided I had better things to do.
Worst was:-Everything except English language and art
Best was:-English language and art
Best Subjects: History, Spanish, Math
Worst Subjects: Physics, English, French
Welcome to AFF, CRB!
(And I forgot--PE was definitely one of my worst.)
best: chemistry (the teacher was awesome and i learned alot), math, history, newspaper.
worst: english (partly becuase the teacher seemed a bit unfair to me), lunch (don't ask)
i was okay in french, but i always had a tough time speaking french, but speaking isn't my strong point.
Best: English, Art
Worst: French
Best: Biology, French, Art, Psychology
Worst: Woodwork, Chemistry
Best: By grade, it is History after my Math grade fell to 99.8% from 103%; however, they are both laughably easy classes. I'll just say Math, History, Computer Science, Science, and German.
Worst: English. Not that I'm actually bad, but I worry a lot about having my grade slip from a mid-to-low A into the shame and failure of a B...
This is a wierd one for me. Back when I went to public school, the worst definitely would have been PE (I hated having to dress out, since I didn't trust people enough to keep my clothes in a locker, and it took up too much space in my backpack), followed by anything I had to do homework in. The only subjects I liked were foreign language.
Now that I go to a private alternative school (which has nothing to do with the Knoxville Alternative education system, which makes normal school look like heaven--they stole that term from us!) every class is more student-directed, and I'm one of the few who cares enough to direct the class, so now the only classes I DON'T like are foreign language (the other kids don't care as much and hold me back). Even PE is great, because we do woodsy solo-ish stuff like climbing and wilderness skills. None of those moronic team sports that everybody in this worthless town obsesses over.
I'm still in High School for a few more weeks, but lesse.
Never gotten less than an A in Art or Spanish. Spanish is way too easy but I don't get to switch to a harder course when I've learned all the material in less than half the time. Fortunately, in college it should be more challanging. Spanish is the course taken by all the kids who don't want to take a foreign language, and the teachers usually go slow to compensate for their non-desire to learn.
Only got less than an A in US History because I had a very new teacher.
Her new age teaching style didn't work for me, I knew more about US History than she did, and I could have done a better job teaching the class than she.
Needless to say, I didn't much like the class (it's a Massachusetts state requirement and the only other availible section was taught by her as well).
Otherwise, I love social studies and usually get As and B+s
Math I used to like but they took me out of accelerated math, for what I later learned was bureaucratic idiocy. I had to retake the whole course as normal track math even though my average was like a B+. I really started to hate math.
Most teachers don't teach it in a way that makes sense to me, so I'm behind the class with sets don't understand. Suddenly, I get it, and I'm ahead of the class, and stuck doing busywork. Needless to day I really detest the subject now. I usually get As and Bs though.
I don't like lab reports and problem sets but I still like science. Pretty consistantly get Bs in science, one A I think of all the courses.
English I like, but it also involves a lot of empathy-seeking in the characters, which I fail miserably at. I usually get Bs or As there.
So I get all As and Bs, it's more which classes I'm miserable because they're too easy (or the teacher asks simple things in a way that confuse me), or I enjoy them.
I'll be so glad to be out of high school though.
