With the title "What was your best and worst subjects in school?" I knew @hownos was not going to list English as their best.

BEST: English/Writing
WORST: Math

Best: French & Latin I would say equally.

Worst: How much time do we have? Math, biology, chemistry, anything scientific, algebra, trigonometry, etc.

Me, too. I was always much more of a word person than math person.

Worst, math. Mostly lack of interest.

Best, reading. In 5th grade I think I took one reading class and they immediately pulled me out and put me in some other one.

It was a test

Not so much a matter of best/worst but liked/disliked. And an illustration of that John Lennon quote about life being what happens to you while you're making over plans.

High School: Choices highly influenced by well meaning (and wise) counselor
Disliked, Math, but still got pushed into four years of it leading to trig
Liked, Art. After being denied more art classes (and realizing I was talentless at art): English/Writing

University: Inertia
Disliked, Math (took and breezed through basic class)
Liked: English/Writing

Real Life: 40-year career trajectory from writing to marketing to technical marketing operations
Consistent actual skill that was a benefit: Writing
Skill I reluctantly realized I still had to use: Math

I was kind of proud of myself in college - I took two semesters of Astronomy (classes were normal length and held twice a week) which fulfilled my entire requirement of credits for math and science for my entire college degree. Meanwhile, my fellow students who were also majoring in Visual Arts were taking classes like chemistry which had two lecture classes a week and two lab classes a week that were 3 hours each! (I always remember hearing them complain about the lab time.)

I loved Astronomy and the class (especially when they turned the lights down for slide shows - which was almost every class. For me it was nap time!)

Only thing I didn't like: first semester, the professor wrote everything we needed to know on a blackboard - I got straight A's! With the second semester we got a different, older professor - he proclaimed he was not a secretary and would not be providing our notes on a blackboard (instead, as students, we were to learn what to take notes on from his lectures and what not to). For the second semester my grade dropped from A's to C's.

From what I can remember studying at school if you mean High School.

Worst = Maths, German, Chemistry, Physics(except Astronomy), Computer Science, Music

Best = Art, Physical Education/Sports, English, Biology, Classical Civilization, History, Geography, French

Huh? English not your best subject? Are you French speaking?

we can't change titles for some reason.

Worst: I can't learn a foreign language at all and I don't know why.

Best: Anything I put effort into doing. If I actually cared, I could have been a straight-A student (minus the foreign language subjects, of course). The problem was, from elementary through some undergrad, I didn't care. School was easy, and thusly boring, and I don't like to do boring things. In undergrad and graduate studies, when I applied myself, I typically had top marks. Imagine if I was mentally healthy and not lazy. I could have done a bunch. Oh well. You reap what you sow.

I hate insomnia. Oh yeah. Last year I had four cases of it, and each time it lasted three months.

History/social studies were my best. If I liked the teacher I would end up with A+ That wasn't from studying because I never studied at home but I participated in the classroom discussions which the teacher was into and I enjoyed that.

Advance math was my worst, I seen no need to learn algebra and advanced math so I didn't bother to do any of my homework but just copied off the kid next to me...who it turns out was failing So in high school algebra: 1st quarter A because I kinda liked it, next quarter B, next quarter C and you guessed it next quarter I squeaked by with a D-. Cool class though, the teacher was really old and late to his class and we would play craps/dice for money in the back room until he told us to take our seats.


We use to have an ongoing 2 card poker game before school started in the cafeteria called Guts, where the dealer called 1,2,drop and anybody who staid in and lost had to match the money in the pot. For high school kids this could get up to $20 or more which was pretty excited until one day the staff closed it down.

Best: Maths, Science, Sanskrit
Worst: Drawing.

Best: Languages, although I struggled with German.
Worst: Gym class. I didn't mind the individual tasks (the stuff that's actually about gymnastics) but we usually got to play all sorts of ball games and I can't deal with rolling and flying objects. Initially I avoided these games by means of "unfortunately scheduled" doctor and dentist appointments but after a while I simply skipped the gym hours without giving a reason.

I never skipped gym class. We got to look a the girls.

what about religion?
