Physical education. (Only in the 11-12 grade)

Played baseball after school, which I loved. AT school, it was basketball, basketball and basketball assholes.
Seemed like the worst pricks joined the basketball period and the coach was some redneck hillbilly who continually farted.
I swear, the prick could eat a piece of bread and get 7 huge farts from it.. No joke..the class was called stink session.

How do you feel about Math now?

Once I figured out practical uses for it, then I couldn't get enough of it. I think that's the problem with how it's taught in schools - they expect you to learn it, but they don't really teach you how you can use it.

I didn't hate any subject. I loved school and I loved learning, even when I was not particularly good at a particular subject. Loved English. Loved History. Loved the arts. Had a good time in P.E. I was ambivalent with math. I hated certain teachers, however. Especially in Middle School. Two teachers almost killed my love of both English and History in the Eighth grade.
 
to hell with sports ……
 
I selected art and music. I was very embarrassed in both. I have no musical or singing talent and the other students' art projects were incredibly superior to my attempts (which produced a pathetic outcome).

P.E. was sometimes rough for me too. I couldn't climb a rope or do pushups. I was a very skinny kid and the things that took arm strength were very challenging for my then weak and skinny arms.

I hated geometry; I could make no sense of it. My father could give the answers to the problems, but couldn’t explain how he arrived at them — figuring the amount of concrete needed for foundations he said. Geometry was a puzzle especially since algebra seemed so logical to me. (Years later I read that people who did well with languages usually did well with algebra - that seemed to be the case with me.)

I didn’t care for physical education; i.e. team sports. Being among the smallest in my class, it was a struggle to keep up with the taller girls — most everyone else. Once modern dance was offered in lieu of PE, that was my choice.

Funny, it was the reverse for me. Algebra tough, but a 98 in geometry. On that topic, was anyone taught SOHCAHTOA?
 
None of them I loved them all. My only really didn't like was French but that was not a foreign language so I couldn't tick the box. I was lucky that , for whatever reason ,most things other than damn French came easy to me so school was never onerous mostly just fun. Oddly enough I had to use French in my career as I had staff in Quebec and apparently I learned more than I thought.

No doubt PE, when I was a kid, was serious stuff. Students had to pass physical fitness tests - like sit-ups, pushups, rope climbing and such. And if you couldn't do one or more, you had to keep trying in front of all the other students who had successfully completed the test. Eventually, the gym teacher would finally give you a bit of a break (maybe making you only climb halfway up the rope instead of to the top) but not until you had just about died of embarrassment, after about 10 or more tries with snickering onlookers and a few nice kids who'd cheer on the ones struggling.
 
i suspect that many german sports teachrs inmy time were former nazi KZ.wardens . terrible sadists

those sadists should have been prosecuted for cruelty
 
7 of 21 say: P.E.
 
Science - wish I'd liked it more. Now I'm always googling basic shit as well as the complex stuff, LOL.
 
Trigonometry and organic chemistry in high school. Statistics in college.

Those are the only classes I didn’t get above a 3.5 in.
 
I didn't hate any subjects. I didn't like Arts because I wasn't very good at it.
 
I suck at learning new languages so those classes I hated.

Did not like Music or art classes.
 
Typing. Typed faster and more accurately using hunt and peck method than anyone else in my class but got a C because I wouldn't stop looking at the keyboard.

LOL, I think the point of typing was to learn the keyboard without looking.

Yep. Teacher even taped a large index card to the typewriter so it would block my view. As soon as she wasn't looking I'd flip it up and go nuts. ;)

This was back in the days of those Selectric typewriters. Sounded like a gun battle when all of us typed at once.
