Posts from Your favorite subjects in school. Auto-translated

We have these kinds of "hackathons" where they organize a meeting for everyone involved, namely the student, parents, principal, and class teacher:rolleyes:
ps Future programmers!:)

Let's go through them one by one =р

1. Russian Language - Honestly, I used to dislike it, but now I can write quite well, surprisingly, and even though I mess around in class (the grammar makes me cringe:D!), I'm doing well in this subject, a solid 4. Although, the teacher keeps telling me I could get a 5 if I tried harder.
2. Literature - Honestly, it's a good lesson, useful for personal development, but unfortunately, I don't have much patience for reading books:smile43:. So, I get by with writing summaries and essays... By the way, so that people don't write things about our Russian/Literature teacher on the bathroom walls, she's actually the most wonderful teacher! I only started to realize this now, and I understand her strictness sometimes... It's just interesting and sometimes funny with her. Others say that in their classes, they just write stuff down and deal with all sorts of formal nonsense... The dialogue we have is just wonderful! A lyrical digression for half the lesson:) What can I say... she's a smart woman, and I'm genuinely glad I'm learning from her. (I guess you don't often hear such words from a student...)
3. Foreign Language - Yeah, I love it, it's so cute! It's one of the few subjects where my classmates copy from me:D, usually it's the other way around). I can also add that our English teacher is a cool person, so it's never boring.
4. Algebra - What can you do with a math class? They assigned us a good but strict teacher, and she left us in disappointment, which is a shame... I feel guilty, I was lazy... Now it's just confusing. But the subject itself is easy, I even won a city competition in 5th grade. It was a while ago, though...
5. Geometry - Well, I can get a good grade in it with my desk neighbor:D, but in general, it's also okay. Stereometry will definitely come in handy, and I'm trying to understand it.
6. History - This is also hilarious). At the beginning of the year, the teacher asked me something, and for the correct answer, she said that I could listen to music in class... That was a fatal mistake, and as a result, I became a 95% slacker, and I found out that I would have to take an exam for the place I want to go:D. So now I'm trying to read two textbooks over the summer, which is difficult, of course (see point 2), but I'm kind of getting into it). So, the subject itself is interesting and useful, I don't deny it ;)
7. Geography - Just don't do anything and copy from your neighbor, it's simple ;)
8. Social Studies/Civics - This is okay, I like it. You can argue with the teacher and talk nonsense, it's an interesting lesson, and it comes naturally.
9. Chemistry - I also slack off all year, but in the end, out of pity, and for a box of chocolates, the teacher still gives me a 4).
10. Biology - It's like in Heroes of Might and Magic, defending against dark arts). Every year, there's a new teacher. It was fun with the last one, a student was teaching us:). Now they've assigned some kind of weirdo =/ It's like a concentration camp in the classroom =( Let's hope for a better year...
11. Physics - Although most people don't like it, the subject is good, although sometimes the problems seem difficult, but still, if I don't slack off, I can solve them.
12. Art - After the school bought a damn projector and a laptop, it's just great!). We make presentations about art and watch them ourselves. In general, I usually put all sorts of silly and funny pictures in there, which makes the class laugh hysterically:D.
13. Safety Education - You can also slack off here, a gas mask is kawaii.
14. Physical Education - In general, whoever wants to goes. Mostly, we only get together to play soccer in the fall/spring, so it's okay.
15. Computer Science - If it's Photoshop, then it's okay. If not, then we go with the guys to drink beer).

In general, things aren't so bad with school

History - that's hilarious too. At the beginning of the year, the teacher asked me something, and for a correct answer, she said I could listen to music during lessons... that was a fatal mistake; as a result, 95% of the class failed, and I found out that I have to take the entrance exam for the place I want to go:D Now I'm trying to read two textbooks over the summer, which is difficult, of course (see point 2), but it's kind of interesting) So, the subject itself is interesting and useful; I don't deny it ;)

So, did you manage to read two textbooks? :)

P.S. I'm asking out of professional interest :D

I remember in 8th or 9th grade, I really liked biology. Well, not exactly the subject itself... we just played games on our phones during those lessons with our friends. And in 10th and 11th grade, in high school, biology was hardly attended by anyone in our group (we didn't really have classes, just groups), although I remember there was something about genetics and Darwin's theory, but the physics and math club had its own interests back then. Although, physics and advanced math weren't particularly popular either.

So, did you manage to get through two textbooks?

I did, almost... :rolleyes: I brought my notes to show today, and the teacher didn't faint:D
By the way, I like ancient history the most – antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Victorian era...:smile20:

P.S. I'm asking out of professional interest.

Are you also interested? :) Or... o0

Are you also interested? :) Or... o0

You could say that :D Actually, history is my future specialty, so to speak. I'll be going to school for an internship soon :smile08: So, if I can help with anything, feel free to ask ;)

although I seem to remember something about genetics and Darwin's theory there too

I couldn't stand those genetics problems :rolleyes: But I liked biology right up until I ended up in a class with a natural science focus, and then I quickly stopped liking it :D

Ah, nostalgia... :) 1. Russian language. I was lucky with the teachers – they thought that only they knew Russian, and they constantly gave me a hard time, in the end, I got a solid "four," but I have a good command of the language. When I was already working as a teacher, I corrected them if they were really messing up. 2. Literature. I probably liked it. I didn't like writing essays; I kept a few old, tattered textbooks on hand for this purpose and constantly copied from them (there were no computers or the internet yet). I was hovering around a "five," but when, contrary to everyone's expectations, I wrote a final essay not in the standard style about Pushkin or Lermontov, but about Bulgakov (I initially wanted to write about Vysotsky), the teacher said that she couldn't give me a "five" for THAT. 3. German language. It always annoyed me and seemed difficult, but it turned out that I know it quite well. There were only 5-6 "Germans" in the group; at the exam, they left us alone, and just for fun, I took the exam for everyone and got a 4-5 (there was a newspaper translation, which was easy) =). I chat with Germans now when I play poker; they are much more talkative than ours. 4. Algebra. Everything was very simple and easy here; I remember in 10th and 11th grade, the teacher would read out the grades from the register, but she didn't read mine; she calculated: 28 fives, for example, and one four (I didn't have time to do the homework during the break; I did it in class). 5. Geometry. Not really; there were many definitions and axioms to learn, especially annoying was proving what was already obvious. 6. History. Until 10th grade, there was a great teacher – young and beautiful; I really liked the subject. Then it wasn't so great. The first time I studied at the institute, I completely failed (it didn't work to get by easily). The second time I studied, I took it seriously and passed with a "five." 7. Geography. Almost the same; a beautiful, pleasant teacher (and her daughter was very pretty), in 10th grade, she was replaced by some man, and I got a two for the semester, then I drew all the outlines overnight – they fixed it. 8. Social studies/law/safety/cultural studies/philosophy/economics (I don't remember what was in school or at the institute). Somehow, it always worked out easily; either you got the only familiar ticket, or a young, inexperienced girl was teaching. 9. Chemistry. I liked doing chemistry. I studied poorly, but I did chemistry... a lot. 10. Biology. The teacher from point 7 taught until 10th grade. After that, it wasn't interesting, although problems like "make one black rabbit out of two gray ones" were fun to solve. 11. Physics. The subject was good, but the teachers weren't very good, so I didn't become a physicist; they didn't inspire me. In 10th and 11th grade, I just colored the textbooks during lessons and drew funny molecules and the girl sitting next to me in my notebook. 12. Physical education. What can I say – it was my favorite subject. I didn't like running on wooden planks that had a funny name – "skis." As an adult, I tried real skis – I liked it. 13. Computer science. I remember. = Black and white computers, they were called something like "TALLINN." We mainly played some nonsense. When I was a computer science teacher, I was very surprised by the school curriculum. I tried to get all this into the children, and not just let them play games in class. That's how it was. =

Interesting topic :smile02:

I want to say right away that I was very lucky with my teachers (except for the mean chemistry teacher). I'm still in school, and now the most difficult year is starting - the eighth grade. I just started learning Computer Science, and I don't know what it is yet, but I've already marked it as a favorite (I think it will be interesting).

Two other subjects I like are algebra (:smile44:) and geometry (:smile01:). I like the teacher for these subjects the most. I also like algebra because I like working with numbers, but geometry is more about the fun teacher who conducts the lesson in an interesting way. But recently, I've started to like geometry less.

Physics. The teacher here is also kind, but he doesn't explain the subject very well. Last year, I barely managed to get a 10 :(. And chemistry is just an hour of horror. There's nothing to compete with the barking of our chemistry teacher. Despite the fact that I know the subject quite well, this lesson is the least favorite because of the teacher.

Russian and Ukrainian (yes, yes) languages: I don't like them very much, but in principle, they are normal subjects. They're just very tiring.

Literature and Ukrainian Literature - I'm so tired of them! All these boring classical works, idiotic poems that I have to memorize (although sometimes there is something interesting). I really want these subjects to be once a week.

History. We have a cool teacher here. At first, we called her "Darth Vader": she constantly repeated "It's your choice" :D (whether to study or not). Now she repeats Chekhov's phrase: "Dear grandfather, Konstantin Makarich, take me away from here!". In general, history is often interesting with us, although we are constantly exhausted by writing notes.

Geography. It's so boring... Sometimes there is an interesting lesson, but more often we write about where the Amazon turns... Although the subject is useful, and the teacher is not too demanding.

Music, Life Safety - it's easy. And recently, the Life Safety teacher has also been bringing puzzles to class :):D! It's great :D...

I'm not doing very well in physical education. But we have an agreement with the teacher: she doesn't make me do anything and gives me 10s. In return, I bring her some kind of gift.

I've been an excellent student for seven years already. I'm not sure if I will be in the eighth grade. But I hate school :mad::smile51:! It's inevitable, exhausting all nerves, especially if you try to be an excellent student...

I'm so tired of school!!!!!!!!!!!! :smile18:

I liked physics and algebra. Starting from 10th grade, I hardly ever got 4s. In 11th grade, when I had to commute to university prep courses, I enjoyed reading the prompt of some complex problem and solving it in my head while riding the bus. :) And then checking that the answer was correct :) 2nd place at the universiade…

It was the same with geometry, but I didn't like proving things that were already obvious, though I solved the problems with ease.

In chemistry, I wanted a 5; I tried my hardest and I did get some 5s, but at the end of every semester (yes, in 10th and 11th grade, our school grades were given by semester, not by quarter!!!) it still ended up as a 4. With great effort, I managed to pass the exam with a 5, and the homeroom teacher finally gave me an "excellent" for the final grade! But in this battle, only 2 basilisks survived 

In biology, I only liked cell biology and genetics, and since those were covered in 11th grade, everything turned out ok without much stress.

I also liked English, but it was very hard for me; every semester it was a toss-up between a 3 and a 4, but it always leaned toward "good." I just don't have a feel for the aesthetics of a foreign language!.. It's like, I know all the words and rules, but I can't bring myself to say something like "it rains cats and dogs"…

I also liked ecology and a bit of technical drawing.

Russian seemed tedious…

I didn't like anything else… I hardly ever attended shop class, MHC [World Art Culture], or OBZH [Basics of Life Safety], but they gave me normal grades there…

I also skipped PE for certain reasons, and although I showed up for the last few lessons and passed almost all the standards with 5s and 4s, they ended up giving me a 3 in the end.

Literature is a separate conversation. I don't understand why this subject is even needed in school??? In school, I couldn't stand reading all those classical works; I ignored many of them, and I even read Eugene Onegin and The Master and Margarita with great difficulty and immediately forgot what I had read! Although later, a few years later, after being outside the school environment, I read many of those works I was supposed to read in school with gusto, and some I re-read several times… In literature, I always had between a 2 and a 3, usually leaning toward a 2, but without exception, I could recite poems for a 5—and the teacher (I had nothing against him, he was a decent guy, but as I later realized, he didn't like me) would sometimes interrupt me halfway through, or after hearing just one stanza, and let me sit down with a 5… I just don't get it: in 9th grade, you're assigned to write an essay on Eugene Onegin. I don't remember the exact topic now, but it was something like a comparison of the images of Onegin and Lensky!!! A 14-year-old 9th grader is expected to write this!!! What can he possibly compose!!!??? What thoughts about these people can a boy have who just wants to play with wrappers, toy cars, hide-and-seek, sifa, 3-15, or play Mario on a console; a boy who has never in his life loved or respected a woman or a girl (and only wanted to fuck them), who hasn't suffered, endured, agonized, feared, empathized, or put himself in other people's shoes even in real life, let alone in the 19th century, and doesn't comprehend what murder is, especially of his closest and dearest friend, as it turned out… I don't know… If someone had asked me back then the simplest question about why Onegin felt like crap and Lensky felt great, I'd probably have answered that I don't know why Onegin felt like crap. He could play all day… no one forced him to study… and why did he reject Tatyana, since he could have still been fucking (man, I wish I could have!!!)… some kind of idiot… and so on. And I was supposed to write an essay!.. I was literally raping my brain and squeezing out some words and stupid, moronic phrases… And it was the same in 10th and 11th grade. I'm judging by my own experience, of course, but honestly, others weren't actually doing any better with literature; it was just that they found it much easier and more fluid to squeeze out these phrases, the meaning of which they themselves didn't understand. This is my humble opinion, but that's how it is… In 11th grade, we had a survey asking what you would want to change in the school curriculum. I wrote that literature is fucking useless. The survey was conducted by our literature teacher, and all our papers were handed to him. Well, I guess I was lucky that I at least got 3s in all semesters… Yet, a few years later, a bunch of thoughts and strong feelings about the characters of the works we studied in school spontaneously arose in my head—things I desperately wanted to tell someone, to find out what other people thought about those guys and girls… but for some reason, everyone—including those who got 4s and 5s for their essays in school—now couldn't give a damn about all that (almost everyone)… I think literature should be taught in the final years of university. Teaching it in school—specifically "literature" and not just reading various fiction books—is idiocy and dementia; it's harmful, it teaches you to be a hypocrite and to lie… The mental development of an average person far outpaces their spiritual development and the acquisition of life experience, so teaching literature in school is the same as, say, teaching derivatives and integrals in 3rd grade… In short, I hated literature in school and I was right to do so, because I didn't understand it, and it wasn't my fault, but the fault of those who decided it should be taught specifically in school… bastards…

There was no computer science… Well, there was, but they only let us near a computer a few times the entire time… Grade 5, but 0 utility

I'll update the information I left in the first post, but this time from the perspective of someone who hasn't attended classes for over a year.

Russian Language. Perhaps the thing I liked most about this subject was writing essays. Although we didn't write them often, and even less often were they essays that weren't in the awful standardized exam format. I started learning the rules 2-3 days before the exam and, to my surprise, discovered that some of it still stuck.

Literature. I never really liked classic works, and I didn't read them properly (although, there was an occasion when I read "The Master and Margarita" in just 3 days, and it turned out to be an interesting book). In independent assignments, I mostly got by with the teacher's explanations and discussions with those who had read the books, which I listened to carefully in class. If that didn't help, I used ICT.

English seemed boring in school. At the same time, you couldn't sleep in class: there were only 10 people in the group, and if everyone showed up, there was always a risk of being asked a question. At university, English doesn't get as tiresome, but the university program isn't designed for someone coming from an advanced English class. Sometimes they give very simple assignments.

Algebra. In essence, school algebra is the routine that you constantly have to deal with in physics, calculus, and other mathematical subjects, so it's hard for me to judge it now. It's like asking a 7th grader if they like adding numbers in columns. But I wasn't a big fan of it in school and overestimated my abilities, deciding that I could prepare for the exam on my own. As a result, I had to figure out the most difficult things from the school curriculum at university. Although, of course, the humanities focus of the class also had an impact.

Geometry. A fairly practical and interesting subject. I remember enjoying turning the unclear and confusing problem statement into a drawing. This often required me to engage the part of my brain that is responsible for spatial imagination, which was also great.

History. Paradoxically, I have a slight interest in history, but not in the subject itself.

Geography. A simple and informative subject. It has a very positive effect on broadening one's horizons if you at least attend classes and listen carefully.

Social Studies. My main enemy in school. However, towards the end of 11th grade, when there was a lot of talk about politics and related issues, there were various discussions, which were quite interesting.

Chemistry. I became incredibly interested in this subject from the 8th grade, thanks to an amazing teacher. Despite a very strict (close to university-level) system for evaluating knowledge, she told about a subject that many consider uninteresting in a fascinating way. In fact, it was the teacher's stories that intrigued me, and she, carried away, could go beyond the chemistry curriculum. For example, she once told in general terms and very briefly about some aspects of quantum physics. Electron cloud, superconductivity, etc. It was terribly incomprehensible, but terribly interesting.

Biology. I didn't study it much, which I slightly regret. I even read the textbook for 11th grade that I bought a while ago.

Physics. I didn't understand or like it until the 11th grade. In the 11th grade, when I was under pressure, I started trying to solve problems, starting with the simplest ones. I could now solve some of them mentally, but then I could spend up to 15-30 minutes on them. Realizing the importance of the subject for entering the polytechnic university, I tried very hard (although I could have tried harder), and studied with a tutor. As a result, in about six months, I learned a lot about this science, greatly improved my related skills in solving problems, and memorized the theory without rote learning. I read the textbooks with great interest. And after visiting the open day, I firmly decided to apply to the physics department.

Art History. I wrote notes in class depending on my mood. Not a very interesting subject. But I won't hide the fact that it was interesting to make presentations about some city, or about a European architectural style of a certain century, etc. And, of course, to tell the class about it.

Life Safety. Undoubtedly an important subject, but I treated it carelessly. I hope to compensate for this by studying the course of Basic Safety in the university.

Physical Education. Just as important as it is interesting. Definitely a good subject.

Computer Science. It was poor in school, and I didn't learn anything useful. I could have, of course, but as usual, I didn't have time. However, after a year of hellish programming at university, this gap in knowledge seems to have been filled.

11. Physics.
The subject itself is good, but the teachers weren't very good, so I didn't become a physicist; they didn't inspire me. In 10th and 11th grade, I just colored textbooks in class and drew funny molecules in my notebook, along with my classmate.

I should have told my classmate that those were her molecules and that I was actually drawing her portrait ;)

Since most of us have methodically finished school, I suggest we also discuss the changes in the curriculum... something has been added, and something has changed, and now we can compare.

Mathematics (not algebra, mind you) - compared to the advanced math class, it's a piece of cake because the matrices we're studying now, we covered in school while preparing for the Unified State Exam. But surprisingly! All that knowledge has somehow faded, so I didn't even understand what I used to know)) Well, of course, it could also be because we're laughing during lectures... but that's not certain. The main thing is that when I had to pass the standard assignment, I managed to understand the 2-month program in 5 minutes and solve everything. That's how it is)

Physics - it's not even on the schedule:smile21: I miss it... everyone looks at it with such horror, just at the mention of it. But nothing, it should appear in the second semester, if only we could survive until then.

Literature - it won't be on the schedule at all:smile08:

Computer Science - but here, there's a noticeable improvement... because for the credit, we have to spend an entire session struggling with Word and Excel... it's not quite the same as playing Counter-Strike.)

Drafting - after the first lecture, I was so confused that I could barely make it home... :rolleyes: but over time, it settled down, and understanding came.) However, we still get a lot of assignments.

Drawing - well, this is probably the most enjoyable) always new compositions, techniques, it's interesting. Most often, our group even comes in on Thursday, a free day, to draw... well, not really draw, mostly just chat and goof around) coffee, a flexible schedule, mrr ^__^

Architectural Design - but this is pure evil. Every week, there's a graphic assignment or something else... well, sleepless nights working on the course project and an abstract composition of vegetables in a bowl for breakfast - that's just natural. In general, you don't have time to finish one thing before they give you twice as much, it's terrible to have to deal with.

Fundamentals of Architectural Design - Despite the general opinion, I like it.) We glue figures out of paper, it's like kindergarten. But in the end, it turns into a model of a church and a project for a city sign... I personally find it interesting, but others turn up their noses because it takes a long time to cut out pilasters and friezes:smile15: I want more creativity!

Well, that's how we live... even though we almost don't sleep at night, it's more interesting than in school!

History - I like it so much that I memorize paragraphs and learn them by heart!
Computer Science - I really enjoy it, it's very interesting.
Literature - Sooooooooooo boring!

physical education (staying in shape), computer science (just to relax), biology (anatomy and psychology are very important for self-improvement), history (I just like it and find it interesting)...
technology (it's useful for everyone to work).

Literature. Because I quickly learned the poems assigned for homework. The boy is learning a poem!! Caution: Contains non-censored language)) 18+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T50O5dEAwDs

I thought it was computer science and chemistry because you already wanted to become a cybernetic necromancer back then. And music was just an easy subject.
