Your least favourite class?

You mean I can't select all options with 'science'? Blasphemy

Not liking Geoscience is blasphemy tbh. You get to play with GIS softwares and learn how and why certain mountains are formed or how air + fertile soil are literal accidents and we lucked out because of it. Or not, because the internet exists after that happy little accident

I actually like math. But philosophy, nu-uh.

[Kowani]

That is, in fact, part of the benefit of English. It requires you to learn alternative communication styles and different rhetorical techniques.

Know your audience, essentially.

English gave me the skills to post on NationStates

i hate english now

[Kashimura]

I generally like all fields, but I cannot express how much I absolutely loathe writing for any of them in any capacity. Writing papers typically indicate: A) I have no idea what I’m talking about, or more often B) the concept is so intuitive to me that I have no idea what I’m supposed to write about it that could possibly be so elaborate. Basic creative writing and calligraphy are about all I’ve got in writing. My hatred for presenting is tenfold.

This is the good part, but learning science in school sucks because what am I supposed to learn?

I mean, it kinda depend on the teacher. When I was in highschool, there were two kinds of teachers: one are rigorous concept-driven teachers that teaches you actual knowledge, but you have to prepare before class and then actively pay attention. Others employs rote learning of meaningless lines of formulas, complete with a "study, solve, forget" principle. I think the problem is that not everyone can follow the first method, and usually the more interested kids flock to the front seats while the rest blank out on the back. It also doesn't really help you too much in, say, succeeding in the college examination exams.

Ooh, especially for math and physics (not even the papers). I was surprised that in college, you actually have to explain and justify your essays with sentences. It became twice harder and four times longer to work on

I guess it depends on your teacher. My middle school science teachers renewed my interest in science which was amplified in high school with even better teachers. Sounds to me like your particular classroom is more of a rote memorization environment which always kills a student's interest compared to engaged teachers who really wants you to have fun and learn

I've never enjoyed math, but I don't think I hate it as much as I did in high school. I hated PE the most though. It was only ever enjoyable when we did racquet sports (and the one time we did archery). I never liked art or music much either.

I disliked PE in middle school and it was my least-favorite class grade- and possibly experience-wise.

Not really sure what happened during the intervening time, it wasn't me becoming more fit or athletic.

I had to write like a five page essay on a mathematical figure for some reason.

An essay. In math?!

The triangle has two known interior angles, 41° and 90°. One side is three units in length. Use sin/cos/tan/etc. to find the length of the other two sides.

[Bombadil]

Hmm, honestly English. I hate analyzing texts since more often then not I feel it is pointless to read them that way.

Same, I likened it to dissecting a frog to see how it works, fine but you killed the frog. And I really couldn't see how explaining how the weather in King Lear, for example, amplified the mood of the play.. it takes two lines.

One type of text I thought stood up to analysis: the dystopias.

For A-Levels, we had a Dystopian Fiction module: The Handmaid's Tale and Nineteen-Eighty-Four, with an optional Brave New World extension. Those I could have analysed and compared/contrasted 'til the cows came home.

[Narvatus]

I hate English classes, because it is basically all interpretation, which is hard when I just want to go home and go to sleep. Math is boring but numbers are absolute, no interpretation needed once the rules are known.

Prove that f in continuous at c if and only if \lim_{t \to 0}f(c + t) = f(c).

*flips to the back of the textbook*

Ah yes, the answer is D.

[Calimama]

essay. math

Those two words should never be in the same sentence, explaining how you solved a problem sure, but an essay?

Erm, there are 3 possible answers to that, tho?

I had a maths teacher who told us this story about "squaws" having babies while lying on hides. Yes, he did warn us that it was "a bit racist". The punchline was "The son of the squaw on the hippopotamus hide, is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides". I didn't need the mnemonic ...

Without even looking at the poll options I knew that maths would be the most hated class. Technically the joke option is winning, but joke options are discarded.

They're for the people who are going to click something, but don't have an opinion.

Putting it first is a worthy innovation! Because sometimes people don't read the whole list and just click the first thing they don't care about. Ie the first option.

Math is impressive: it’s so hated it’s almost at the joke option.

[Infected Mushroom]

I'm surprised math is more hated than PE.

I don't know, I found moving X, Y, Zs around equations highly satisfying. It's like a puzzle game. There's something satisfying about the balancing of it all and it looks good on the paper.

The units had all these mini-games too (other than algebra) like the logarithms, radian to degrees/trigonometry puzzles, and the calc derivative stuff.

Am the only one?
