I hated PE! In my view all my PE teachers were sadistic slipper happy perverts, why making a kid run around half naked in the freezing cold with shorts rubbing chapped legs, and then getting them to strip naked and shower or horror of horrors bath, with loads of other naked kids is not classified as child abuse I will never know!

I loved comprehension, taking a passage of text apart to describe the meaning and learning new vocabulary was my favourite, trouble was they were often a fairly short interesting passage taken from a book and I always wanted to read on but you could never find where the excerpt was from!

Mayfield.

Hated Maths.

The subject terrified me.

The teachers terrified me.

The exams terrified me.


It was more like mental abuse than mental arithmetics to me :-(



Loved English and the chance to escape to the library. :-D

Liked: Physics, Chemistry, Math, Games, English Language

Disliked: Woodwork, Metalwork, Art, English Lit., PE.

Loved English - reading, writing, poetry I loved it all.

Hated Math, Science and PE. I also hated dancing where sadistic teachers paired very tall girls with very short boys :-|

Hated. PE, Geography :-\, Chemistry and RE. Loved Maths,English, English Lit and of course History :-D.

Hated Maths PE Geography, but I loved History

I hated anything to do with religion ... not that I was ( or am ) an atheist I just didn't see it as part of school life. Caused tremendous ructions with the school though.

Other than that school can be great fun and opened many doors and windows for me especially Latin, math, art, most sports. I hated the gym though not my idea of fun at all.

I hated corporal punishment, still popular way back.

School has never been a great place for the shy, the timid and those who are not good at games and can't sing. I doubt it ever will be. Just like life.

I hated PE and Games, especially hockey.
Why did they insist the smallest child in the class ( me) should go in goal?
Not too keen on RE either. At that time, they'd decided children should be taught the outline of other religions. Our RE teacher was clueless, so showed us films of starving Biafrans.

I pointed out that we schoolchildren could do nothing for them, that charity began at home, and avoided PE, RE and double games by volunteering myself at the local home for special needs children. :-D

Loved...English, history, Biology and drama

Loathed......Maths, Geography, Physics,Chemistry, RE and PE

I hated Religious Education. I wasn't particularly keen on the teacher who taught it.
I would rather have learnt how to cook but unfortunately boys were not allowed to participate.

Hated PE, which was just torture for me, to be no good at sports was to be a failure altogether ( but especially if you were good at academic subjects in which case you were doubly despised lol ) , and sewing, not particularly keen on science.

I loved PE.......Music (Singing) and the lessons to be learned in the bicycle shed!!

And that's about it really.

:-D :-D

loved art and english composition

Quite liked geography and history:)

Hated PE cause of me baggy knickers, but l was abit athletic !!
Hated pretty much everything else, especially Maths it was a torture and RE:((((

I was a Neanderthal Caveman when I started school at the tender age of 4.

I'm not too sure what happened at school during the following decade & a half, because I am still referred to by my original title by her-in-doors from time to time -except during my annual birthday celebrations when I‘m allowed to play outdoors with my favourite fossils collection.

Surprising so many hated PE.

I also hated PE, and sometimes a few of us would hide in the toilets in changing rooms on a Friday afternoon. Once we were discovered, had to write lines.!!!!
Also hated drama.

Loved biology, domestic science, and english lit. :-)

Why do so many people hate mathematics ?

And why do so many people who hate mathematics insist that schools must teach "something useful" when there is no more useful a subject than mathematics ?

Beats me.

Despite England being the birthplace of Newton the innumeracy of much of the population (including the front bench of both sides in the Commons) is one of the main reasons why our economy is in such dire straits.

x = ( -b +- sqrt(b*b - 4ac) ) / 2a

I fully agree RTR with your quadratic thinking ;-)

Loved maths.. english.. sewing ..my top 3..

I really did love PE.. the cruel teachers was the reason why i wouldnt do it.. after moving to a all girls school..

Hated history.. but i would have liked to do woodwoork ..

jgee

I loved all the outdoor sports but hated PE.

Chemistry and Physics wasn't for me either. I loved maths until it was logorythms, see I cant even spell it. and algebra. I am trying to think back over my life to remember when I needed to know those two things.
I do remember and glad of it was if the teacher in the Juniors wanted a break from us we had to recite our times tables. Proved so valuable always and I am still 10 times quicker than some of the young school leavers of today.
Hated school showers too

Hated Religious Education with a passion but the same male teacher also taught typing so not a bad teacher. Yes a male teaching typing and that was back in the late 1960's

Wanted to do woodwork, metal work and tech drawing but girls were not allowed to do those classes.

Loved PE, Maths, art, cookery and needlework.

Hated English as I did not like the books that we had to read.
