Math. I know it's important, but I hate it. Mainly because we spend about a day on important stuff and spend the rest of the time dragging on about pointlessness.
i like my classes, the only class i had a problem with today is my Modern American Studies, in which two old women came in to talk to us about Scholarships and how you make more money by going to colledge andblablahblah. I almost fell asleep in the class and I hear so much about scholarships that i feel like i have trained parrot sitting on my shoulder.
English 11 Honors.
The teacher seems to be a swell guy, but he is the worst when it comes to giving homework. Here's the typical run down.
Teacher: Okay class, let's do a 3 page essay about the stuff in the ending of *insert book we just finished reading*. Hmm, due... Wednesday.
My thoughts: Alright, two days for 3 pages on a completely open ended subject. That's not so bad.
*wednesday*
Teacher: Nope. All of you are wrong. *15 minute passive aggressive rant on how we missed the finer points the author was trying to convey that everybody got, but didn't know they were supposed to include* Also, none of you are meeting my expectations. Lol. Try harder.
Me: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I'm a senior. So any of the bullshit classes that I am forced to take simply to keep me inside the school. I only need TWO FULL CLASSES more to graduate, and they think that warrants 8 hours a day of school for a year?!?!?!?!?!??!?
A prime example: "Chefs Class"
Not only do we not learn anything about cooking (all we do is follow recipes with no other instruction); but the entire class is just a front to make kids work for school events. On top of that, the teacher says we are only allowed to miss 5 days of this class, or we can't get an "A", while the school allows us to take 10 personal days a year.
I can waste my life on my own, I don't need the school to do it for me. Fuck public schooling, our country is going to hell and there is nothing we can do about it.

Every work of art, no matter how open to interpretation, can still be broken down into the parts that make people feel one way or another.-Zen- said:
Yes, but when you are tested on it it is a different story. Also, two people can feel completely different about these parts, even the ones that seem universal.Substance-E said:
The only "fun" part is writing papers on a topic that is totally ridiculous but, apparently, still valid because you can back it up. And that I titled one of my papers "The Importance of clothing in Summer (by Edith Wharton)" hehe (ugh, but don't get me started on Wharton; she is the bane of my existence) Also, greetings from AP English Lit!
Business studies.
My secondary school became a "Business and enterprise" College and we were all forced to take the subject at GCSE level.
I hated the damn lessons and didn't do any of the coursework even though I A*'d the test. Most of what they were teaching was pretty much common sense, but a large amount of it was also completely irrelevant.

Well I don't know what kind of silly class you had but all of my lit classes were always about story structure and character elements. Even if we were tested on what we thought of the story we were graded on paper composition and how well we conveyed our idea, not whether we were "right or wrong" in what we thought.Manga_nerd247 said:
Chemistry, my teacher just drones on for an hour and a half, then gives us a test the next day> Almost everyone failed because he doesn't know how to teach.
Physical science. I Hate that class with a passion yet I wanna be a astronomer so....shit a lot more physics..yay
I really hate my English class (English 10 AP)
Essay, essay, group work, project due in 3 days, essay, read a book for next week, essay, essay, present your group work to the class, essay, read another book, essay, essay, essay...I think you get my point.
And to top it all off we have vocabulary and grammar quizzes every Friday. The former I'm great at, the latter not so much.

Well it depended/depends on the book. Some are treated as having more symbolism than others. For example, apparently Toni Morrison novels have symbolism in every-freaking-thing. For example: "Now look on pg blah blah. Do you see how they mentioned a BLACK (OMG) chicken eating seeds? That means something good is about to happen." And that's one of the more obvious ones.Substance-E said:
Also, we were recently quizzed on the title of a book the main character had read. Yes it was a teeny bit significant, but not enough for me to have memorized the title or to have singled it out as important from a 30 page reading assignment.
From second grade all the way through 12th grade, the second half of the year of the standardized mandatory English classes revolved around poetry. Seriously, hands down the most useless thing I've ever had to sit through, and it was in STANDARDIZED MANDATORY ENGLISH CLASS. I don't know if this is just in California or the whole US, but our educational system fucking blows.
None of my classes suck. Although I think one of my professors gives too much homework. I reached a point where I can see the good in anything and know that everything is in someway useful. Although I still don't know what multi0-variable calculus is a requirement for computer programmers.
