My least favorite class is the socialist ruling elite by whatever name they call themselves be they Soviets, Maoists, Chavistas, National Socialist, Democrats ad naseum.

In school my least favorite class was home economics.

My sophomore year they changed the curriculum from encouraging productivity and savings to emphasizing consumption and credit. Their budgeting model for income was totally wacked. They geared it into making people dependent upon banks and creditors, strapping people with decades of debt as a viable first option. >:(

Before that, the curriculum focused on teaching people how the free markets work, and which business model works best for what you want to do in life. It taught how to go out and make our own jobs (go into business for oneself/be an independent contractor) by leveraging one's own talents and skills into productivity and creativity to realize your vision for your life. Also, it taught how to work with others who have similar goals. It taught how to adequately assess a viable route to engage in one's right to the pursuit of happiness.

But that year, they started teaching us not to do that. They stopped teaching how the markets work. They just told us to go out and get jobs (to realize some corporation and their politician cronies dreams), or how to join a union (to live out the corrupt union bosses and their bought out politician cronies dreams) or go into debt to go to college/university.

and the home economics cooking lab in 7th grade-- I hate baking cookies.

Physics 2 (or PHY2049 as it's called at my university) was bad enough to make me change my major. Magic math that comes from nowhere.

I called it magic math as a joke, but it is grounded in the laws of physics. Lenz's Law, Maxwells Equations, Optics, Circuits. Needless to say my right hand was a bit overworked. Standard intro E&M course, but I wasn't cut out for it.

After I finished learning Maxwell's equation, I turned to the next chapter: introduction to quantum mechanics(It focuses on the Schrödinger equation).And then the next chapter: why should I give up learning physics.

Corporatists actually. I wish it had remained capitalist (free and open markets of free enterprise). By high school, Archer Danial Midlands had rewrote our FFA textbook (no joke), It advocated the removal of family owned farms for corporate owned farm management and doing stupid things like leveraging the farm for maximum bank loans and culling the herd back into the feed. My chapter made a big stink about it, but we were ignored by the educrats, because "science" says the future belongs to the State and the creatures of the state (corporations), not to the people who work the land. I have disliked Corporatism, and all forms of Statism that tries to infringe on free enterprise capitalism ever since.

Farm/Ranch management was one of my least favorite classes in high school.

My least favorite class has got to be the Jedi Consular. The story just wasn't that interesting to me nor were the companions. Qyzen Fess was okay, I guess. The Children of the Emperor were neat villains, I suppose.

In years 7-9 I was very much not a fan of PE - I did not really enjoy rugby and football which is basically a good 2/3rds of the curriculum for male students in PE in England. It got better though when we switched to more just choosing what sports we wanted to play or just messing about in the school gym in later years, though.

I am kind of the son of a maths lecturer so I've been raised to like maths so I'll have to disagree with the majority opinion there - I'm also an economics student so it's a pretty big part of my degree.

By the way, with the exception of PE... every single high school class (without exception) is close to Pure Joy compared to most law school classes.

Tax Law is the absolute worst. However, Family Law, Legal Research and Wills/Succession come close.

I never believed in hypnosis before...

it was ‘arts’ if i mind. it was much far from art, and much loosened discipline meant the unjust and not wise guys harassed me sometime.

poor me. i wonder nowadays what would happen. i grew much more self-defensive, and less shy at last. i would rip blood out of them, plausibly, and also felons would hit me harsher, too.
