POLL: School Subjects

Remove all ads!

In Canada we have Social Studies, and it is my minor. I guessed that in Europe the classes might be split into Economics, Political Science, and History (I think I missed Poli.Sci) It looks like I muffed this one all around -- split up Social, didn't split up the Maths enough -- someone just shoot me. Right between the eyes!

 

I HATED Maths, and I think Phsics is useless because it's just like Maths.

 

PE is useless,i'm not gonna be a sports instructor after all.

 

i hate history most because it tells lies.

The person who rebuilt and developed our capital is Yap AhLoi, a migrated Chinese, but our history book named some other Malays, native Malaysians. Malays, Chinese. Tamil, Kadazan, Iban though different cultural background but are all Malayisans thus must be sharing all equal rights. Our history book said Malays, Kadazan and Iban are the one who first arrived here, first developed a complete political system here thus they have the privilege of having highier "special rights" over other races. Our history said one of the Melaka Kings married a Chinese princess but there is no such record of a royal family member being married to Melaka King in Ming Dynasty royal family member tree. Chinese fought hard and died many during the Japanese occupation in WW2 but that was being cut off from our history book.

i think English is the most useless because i am not going to England anyway.

 

Math is also quite difficult for me at the time...

Seeing as me and a friend got in a pretty harsh verbal fight with my math teacher... On thing led to another... And suddenly I'm suspended for a day...

We got it solved tough... Yay...

 

For me Economics was quite difficult, even though I always had a very strong grasp on any Maths, I found it very difficult to predict turns in the Economy. Also, I had to write a thesis paper on economic downturns (kind of an analysis of them, with various hypotheses and conlcusions I had to make) and it was arguably the most difficult paper I ever had to write.

The most worthless subject is woodworking without a doubt, the reasons I think, are pretty self-explanatory.

 

Depaara, here all the social sciences are split up in university level. In our ecquivalent of high school though we have a subject that is simply called 'social science' and it is a mix between political science, economics, sociology and cultural geography. History is still its own subject.
Social science is my 'major' but that only means that I have taken the introdoctuary uni courses in the ones I listed, a bit more in PS though as it is the most important in our HS. Believe it or not but English is my secondary subject, but to my defence I have to say that I didnt start with english until this semester. Right now it is only 2 years until I am a finished teacher! Wohoo! 3 down 2 to go and when I am finished I will get a whooping 2500us$ a month if I am lucky. I think I chose the wrong profession.

 

Joacquin, I say that same thing to myself over and over again some days! Especially when my friend, an accountant, sends me an e-mail wherein he consistenly refers to 'a hole lot of things' (direct copy of his spelling). He's making over $90,000 / year U.S.

I'd sacrifice my spelling skills for $90,000 / year U.S. any day.

I was good in Math, too, I coulda been a contenda!

 

I'd say the subjects I hate most would be Economics and Physics.

Now, thanks to this being my final year, I have dropped Physics, but Economics is mandatory for my sector, so I have to take.

Physics: Come on, I have nothing against calculations (I kinda like Maths), but these, are just impossible.

Economics: It's mostly because of my teacher, he doesn't explain anything and then becomes mad at us if we score low at a test. Oh wel...
