penfold Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Would have to say History on dat een, closely followed by PE, as we got to play football mainly, though I did enjoy when wir teacher decided to teach us the gentlemans game of cricket. Piss boring to watch but entertaining to play, the first ball of the first over we played he berated one of the boys for throwin the ball under arm, and told him to bowl again and this time OVER ARM BOY!! Fellow takes a hell o a run up but slipped the ball to early. It sailed gracefully through the air and smacked the PE teacher square on the head, poetic justice, never laughed so much in my life, (after making sure the teacher was ok of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunchieSquirrel Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I remember when I just turned second year, we were doing some metalwork in CDT. I was busy hammering something on my keyring until the head fell off and banged my fingers then I shouted 'F*****G HELL! THAT HURTS!'.Then all my classmates started to stare at me and got trouble in two shakes of a lamb's tail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 maths.I used to think I'd want to be a maths teacher. The thought of inflicting maths on teenagers 1st thing in the morning - quite entertaining, for me anyway.But nothing beats the feeling you get when that light bulb goes on when you get someone to understand a mathematical process.Everyone can do maths, it just takes a while to find the correct way to get that lightbulb moment in every pupil.

I think the same can be said for any subject, even just now i am helpign a friend learn to drive and the satisfaction when the realisation of what you have been trying to explain filters through is great. nothign worse than oen of your explanations being met with a huh or a yeah right. and to stay on topic my favourite class was probably maths and art ( if im allowed 2 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainlander Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I truly didn't enjoy any subject at school. For a while I quite enjoyed English while I was in a class that studied contemporary literature, but then they moved me to the top class which was all Shakespeare etc, which I still don't enjoy to this day. As I could read before I went to school, the only thing I learned in all my school days which has been of any use to me at all in life was basic Arithmetic. I genuinely believe going to school was a complete waste of time. I would have been much better off at home with my books. I think I needed teachers who were more like you, MJ! I should say that I was severely bullied all through my school days, which no doubt contributed to my hatred of the place. Probably why I am so oversensitive about criticism, too!

Spinner72 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 My favourite subjects were maths and physics. To me they were just the chance to play with number puzzles for an hour or two and forget about things for a while. The only subject I really disliked was french. I just found it entirely pointless and frustrating when we could have been learning a useful language like Norwegian or Gaelic. We were lucky to have a fantastic lineup of teachers though, and in our final years they often worked through lunch breaks with us to help study.

EM Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 ...we could have been learning a useful language like ... Gaelic. I really hope you are pulling the piss, but I have a feeling you may really mean that. If someone had tried to teach me Gaelic I would have rebelled 100%. Growing up in Shetland, my experiences with endless disapointing "And now here is an interesting TV programme about , except for viewers in the north who have their own programmes." announcements have scarred me. The result, like many others I understand, is an under-the-skin irrational phobic prejudice against all things Gaelic. Yuch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner72 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 ^^ That was a fair part of my reason for wanting to learn it. Even today BBC Alba puts on the best programming anywhere in the UK, though thankfully much more of it is subtitled these days. My logic, even at that age, was that I encountered both norwegian and gaelic on a regular basis, and not being able to understand them was a hidrance, however I never once encoutered french. Even now, some 20+ years later, I still haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
