Favorite school subject?

Post by Quant_umm »

When you were in school, or if you currently are attending, what was your favorite subject and why?
Least favorite? Why?

I personally love math. Theres a patter to everything and it feels stable. It's stressful but i love working with numbers.
I dont like English much, not my strong suit and i can find it dull, but im greatful nonetheless that i get to read cool books and learn how to write fleshed out and well written arguments.
Hooray for free education!

I'd have to say that my favorite subject would be whatever science is being taught during that year. I've always liked science because it provides me with the means to understand how things work, which is something that I am naturally interested in. I also don't exactly like English. The writing aspect of it is great and useful, but I've never really appreciated literary analysis (especially with great works).

It depends on what we're learning. Two school years ago, science was my favorite subject, because I thought that biology was really interesting. The most recent school year though, definitely social studies. I loved social studies.

My favorite part was, when towards the end of the year while learning about the Cold War, we picked a solution for whatever the daily issue was, went to the corresponding place in the room, and discussed it as a class. One was, for example, whether we should expand the space program or invest in solving Earth's problems. Another was what to do during the war in Vietnam, and there was one about nuclear power plants, etc..

English was similar, so I also really liked that.

Gym will probably always be my least favorite subject. I don't find it that interesting.

I remember for one entire unit my friends and I just discussed things, and the teachers didn't care. That was the best unit, IMO. ;)

That sounds really cool! I sometimes talk about this kind of stuff outside of class, but to do it in class is really cool

I totally forgot about this class. I couldn't agree with you more here!

My favorite all time subject would have to be physics, I plan on being a physicist one day. I like math, but in any math class I take I find that every teacher I have goes way to fast, the worst being in my math 3 class. We would cover about three things a day! Anyway, my least favorite subject would have to be my drafting class that I took as a freshman, I did not give a flying fuck about what we were learning, but that's just me.

I did not enjoy any subject, but I liked having English because I didn't have to do anything and my teacher didn't give a damn whether or not I did my homework. I also liked math because it's the only subject where you can be very confident in your answer since nothing is open to interpretation.

Outside of school, I find history, biology and economics most interesting in general.

What even is drafting?
I love physics and science alot too, working towards becoming a physicist as well!

Drafting is essentially drawing geometric shapes, it is a pain to make sure that you have the object looking three dimensional, it's absolute hell trying to draw circles in that kind of work. The reason the class was required is because my school is an engineering school, so it puts a lot of emphasis on STEM careers, we used to have a class called engineering the future that was also mandatory, but at least the guy who taught it made it fun, in fact he is my favorite teacher. It's cool that you looking to be a physicist, I wish you the best of luck.
