Favourite school subjects?

Oh it was different depending on the dynamic. English/English literature has always been a favourite. History. Spanish when I had a crush on my Spanish teacher. Geography when I had a crush on my Geography teacher. Maths when I had a crush on the girl sitting next to me. |

Art.
I liked art a lot...
(I pestered my dad to get me an airbrush when I was about 14 & he eventually relented.)
The art teacher at my school was a very eccentric, posh older gentkeman..kind of mix between brian sewell & tony hart.
I got on with him well. |

Not necessarily the same ones I was good at.
But languages were completely impossible to me. It’s weird.
I do better now than I did.
Anyway I liked English and Art because they were engaging and I didn’t need to memorise anything.
I was good at Maths and Sciences (and English), until I bombed at A-level. |

English literature. Geography. Spanish. Music. Chemistry. Drama. French. Oh and Philosophy.
I didn't go down the classic A-Level route so luckily I was able to continue studying most at college. |

Languages - which I did quite well in. Our teacher was a beautiful, leggy blonde who sometimes wore dresses or skirts that fell just above or around her knee. She used to sit on the desk, facing us, with her feet resting on a chair. Whenever she got off the table, I always got a lovely view up her skirt, and what she was wearing underneath a lot of the time. I swear that it was the best incentive to enjoy learning! |

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe |
Geography, physics, motor vehicle studies - we welded some box iron into a frame, fitted axles, engine, gearbox, and seats, then drove it around the playground. Metalwork was great, too. We had lathes, vertical milling machines, a forge, and we did sand-casting making items out of molten aluminium.
The school used to be the engineering annex of the local college and had all the facilities. Wouldn't be able to stuff like that nowadays. |

Music, Art and History at GCSE.
Sadly GCSE Art/CDT was combined and compulsory for all. I was really good at Art, abysmal at CDT so got a very average grade so lost confidence and didn't do Art at ALevel  |

Didn't enjoy any of it.
School was purgatory from start to finish thanks to undiagnosed learning difficulties at the time every lesson was torture except games/pe and then I was a bit like forest gump and loved run ING, put me on a running track and I'd just keep going all day. |

History. I've always loved the subject.
However, in middle school, we had an English teacher who was very pro reading and he was allowed to do his own thing in picking term themes. He once picked the paranormal and I spent many an hour just sitting and reading paranormal 'true' stories during his lessons.  |

I hated school, it bored me and I hated losts of the nonsensical BS of school too. I genrally didn't apply myself and most of the time was in trouble for being disruptive in class and argumentative with teachers (I found a battle of wits with teachers fun). Being dyslexic definitely didn't help. However there were some subjects that I enjoyed and applied myself to. History, Physics and in the last couple of years Maths too. Maybe if I'd just been allowed to do exclusively those three subjects maybe I would have been less bored and a better student.

English, only because our teacher was the hottest one in the school and i got to sit right in-front of her desk so had the perfect view of her cleavage!
But for an actual Subject my fave was probably D&T i was pretty good at making shit! |

I always liked history, as all of my three history teachers were aware that this subject needed great story tellers, no other teachers came close to making their subject this interesting, I did like physics, till the maths got hard. Cooking was good, thanks to Keith floyd.
History is still useful, for me now at uni. |

Science, maths (maybe) - wish i could do that one over, in my pure maths class i was only boy with 6 girls for A-level, if only i knew then what i know now...
History left its mark, but that probably because we had an NQT who didnt appear to wear a bra for 50% of the lessons... |

"Latin was mine.
Sounds a bit elitist but a council kid learning about all that shit at a grammar school was marvellous.
We had a lovely lady teacher in Doc Reynolds. ❤️"
Opposite! We had a Latin teacher who was better suited to an all boys boarding school! He was sarcastic, abrasive, and to top it off, kept calling me by my elder sisters name!
I did enjoy history, and English. Plus art, I was a mean potter on the wheel.
I think a lot depends on the educator, whether they inspire the students. I went from an English teacher whom I respected and admired to one that was dictatorial and insulting. I lost interest in English as a result, any this was in the two years leading up to the exams. I still got good grades, but I may have done better? |
