Your favourite School Subjects

[80sChav]

I think my ones would Art, Home Economics, PE and PSE. Strangley we had PSE in my first 2 Years at my 1st Secondary but not until Year 10 at my 2nd one which was a much better School indeed. How odd

Re: Your favourite School Subjects

My fav subject was History right up until we into the 4th year (now year 10) then we swapped teachers, we went from one who made it exciting and fun to a teacher who had us coping text from the board or books

Also liked Science, English and Maths.

Hated P.E

Re: Your favourite School Subjects

What a great topic Chav!

In juniors it was science, though I lost the love in secondary,. Amazingly I loved RE for a time as our teacher was great.

Can't think I have a stand-out though....

Re: Your favourite School Subjects

I really liked art at school, but completely lost the passion for it once I left. I was pretty indifferent to the others really. Least favourite were Business Studies, Home Economics, CDT and Core Studies

I never like any science at all Trickyvee. I know this may sound strange but science is one thing I just don't believe in ... I guess it has to exist but I always hated it and could never follow any of the Science's. I think my point is that they have become too "popularised" for having say Sports Science, and every other kind of Science exploration known. It has just left me with a bad taste for it since School day's I think of as so/such.

Hmn CDT was one of the better (sort of Science related subjects) I think, I quite liked it but I choose Home Economics instead (well at least at my first Secondary we had that option until I think Year 9). This though was before the day's of Science being described as Art, CDT, Drama etc. Quite a good subject indeed - even though I was poor at it.

Re: Your favourite School Subjects

My favorite subjects were English Lit and Electronics Shop -- our school was one of the few that offered that course. In English Lit we would take turns reading aloud from Shakespeare and when my turn came I would often ham it up with a Lawrence Olivier/ John Gielgud impression. The thing I hated about English Grammar was diagramming sentences, though strangely I have a copy of the textbook we used which I picked up at either a library sale or flea market years later as well as a copy of the original, published in 1966, Electronics Shop textbook -- I still enjoy doing projects from it! What I loved about Electronics Shop was making electric motors which were our class project. Sadly, many schools today no longer offer shop courses such as wood shop, metal shop or auto shop.

Easy one for me - Art, and Graphics. Both the Art & Graphics teachers were among the best teachers I had, and I've always enjoyed drawing. Maybe there wouldn't now be three books on the market with my artwork on the covers if I hadn't had such a great tutoring of it in those early days.

Re: Your favourite School Subjects

For a while, in about 1975, our form teacher was the main Geography teacher. Now that I come to think about it, we had some great lessons and I got quite into it.

Re: Your favourite School Subjects

Fave subjects were always maths and Science,especially Astronomy and Chemistry.My friend and i would finish our experiments before everybody else and then we'd mix all the chemicals together and heat them.........................One time we blew up a test tube doing this but the teacher didn't make us pay for it- like most of the others had to- because we got high grades......................................Also,l iked PE especially in high school (Football ,or soccer as they call it here.Loved that cos very few aussies cold play it well,if at all.I could have beaten the entire class all on my own. ,running and golf were also good.
