Hate is a pretty strong word.I liked math cause I realized it would help me later on in life.I attended college to become an accountant.

But I'd be more interested in history stories now, without having to learn off dates etc.

I liked Science cause it was an eye opener for my young curious mind. Science is everywhere.

I have to agree,
Since I discovered learning at my own pace I gained a new respect for education.

Probably geography and metalwork. If you can read a map and secretly make a throwing star you're set for life really.

Back in early 60's we were already carryin 22's n'
shotguns to school in the first grade; had an archery
and gun range in the school yard,,,we had to walk
to school back then, snakes and gators everywhere.
Then we were playing with dry rocket propellant by the
third grade, strapping engines to model airplanes
fueled by gasoline engines, not to mention all the staged rockets we played with...what was Not to like about school back then.
By high school we were building radio's from scratch,building
racing engines, n' welding/building the wildest trick cars
you ever saw from all the junk cars dragged to school.
Today; any teachers teaching kids this stuff would be fired... And any kids learning what we learned would be considered
JR terrorists...

My favourite subject was art but I enjoyed most subjects with the exception of math and history. It wasn't until later in life that I discovered my technical side and went on to a career that was technical in nature.

sergio09: Music and Social Studies were my favorite subjects....and they have defined my whole life.
can't believe I left out music!
One of my music class memories is learning about Carnival of The Animals, and the different instruments. Always think of a duck when I hear an oboe now!@lookin: I'm not a great cook but I did enjoy cookery class (Domestic Science or Home Economics) as it was called where I was. Wasn't mad about the sewing part though. Ugh.

Latin. I loved it from the first moment. It is a clear, fine language, but also passionate and powerful because of the stylistic devices that the old historians used.
I translate since school times until today Latin texts, inscriptions of gravestones or lists of literature for people who write their dissertation or professorial dissertation in theology or history.
I feel Latin as much more normal than German and as a much more logical communication medium.

@Min I realize that back in my day that some people had to struggle and it hasn't changed any now either.Students fell through the cracks and just got passed on.
When my son was in grade school I was a parent volunteer and knew of some students who couldn't even read at all or past third grade level.

Aww, school life must have been tough for them. People with dyslexia and other learning difficulties had no chance years ago.

10 minutes only? Usually takes 20 anyway, depending on the size. You must have had strong teeth!
