Least Favorite Class?

<p>SCIENCE!!.. i'd like it if it weren't for the teacher. He hates me and he can never admit he's wrong... I hate teachers like that!</p>

<p>APUSH.</p>

<p>Why? Because it's APUSH.</p>

<p>AP Biology.</p>

<p>^Wow, I don't disagree but wow.</p>

<p>AP Enviro...at the moment. I have a test first thing, my book's in my car, and I don't feel like getting it. Oh well, I'll just study the glossary instead...last time I studied off the chapter summary and the glossary and got an 87.</p>

<p>My least favorite class this year would have to be AP Statistics. I don't mind the teacher or the kids in my class (well, most of them anyway), but I do mind the material. G-d... It's so boring! In the beginning of the year, there were some classes where I just cried the whole time... tears of yawning that come from boredom. Now... it suddenly became hard. Ther material, the processes, the concepts all of a sudden became hazy.</p>

<p>Oh God. Chemistry Honors is definitely my least, and then english. The thing is that my chemistry teacher wants us to do "so excellent on the SAT II"s etc, that she goes WAY too much in depth (like more than the AP curriculum, she teaches us stuff like the PhD way with 10 steps instead of two step easy) and we're like two months behind the regular class, so we might not even get to two/nine topics. Plus, she gives us uber busywork, like "Do pages 6, 7, 8, 9" which would sound Okay, but each page probably has about 60 formulas or two-step problems that are due tommorow. And if you don't do ONE homework, your average drops a point. Her tests-oh my GOD!-she tests us on stuff we did on worksheets two months ago that she said we didn't have to know. GAH! And I actually like chemistry otherwise, so it's worse because she ruins it.</p>

<p>Government last year.</p>

<p>a) We had four teachers, only one of whom was competent (and whom we acquired by luck).
b) One of the teachers kept spreading rumors about me doing racist things that I'd never done (because I asked her questions about comparative government and she felt threatened due to her extreme incompetence, so she decided to go and play the race card. quote from her: "Hitler was a communist!"). Of course, she was fired at the end of the quarter.</p>

<p>The good part about this inadequacy was I realized I needed to practically self-study the course, so I ended up being probably the only person in my class to get double 5s. (Most got 2s and 3s.)</p>

<p>omg science class!!</p>

<p>haha we are doing rocks and minerals and we had to right about how nonfoliated rock are whatever for an essay on a test and my friend was like "don't you mean FOLIATED rocks?" and the teacher's like, "whoops...brain error" (without giving a rat's butt crack that she made a huge mistake)</p>

<p>& then for taking notes, she puts stuff on the overhead that is EXACTLY word-for-word of what the textbook says. & then writes for every single picture in the book (see figure 17 pg 76)</p>

<p>she does the copying in what she calls "bullet form"...but all she does is make a big dot and write a paragraph, then repeat, and repeat.</p>

<p>it's the biggest waste of my time..i don't even take her notes anymore because you might as well just read the textbook several times.</p>

<p>Indeed. Teachers shouldn't be teaching the subject if they're feeding the children incorrect information. </p>

<p>My Earth Science teacher said that the Oort Cloud was a small, insignificant thing beyond the outer orbit of Pluto and that the Kuiper Belt was much larger. I was at the back of the classroom, scratching my eyeballs out while saying "ZOMG, the Oort Cloud has a radius of approximately 3 light-years!" On another occasion, she told the students that the speed of light was "approximately 3,700 miles per hour". -_-* Most of the time, the answer to questions is "complex scientific processes". While I do have utmost respect for my Earth Science teacher, and she is a very nice woman, I believe she (and other teachers) should do some research on the subject before they say some random answer in the interest of preserving [intellectual] authority over the class; students don't think that highly of a teacher who says "I don't know" for almost every single question.</p>

<p>my fifth grade teacher was a recent high school graduate from a local technical school who majored in the tech school in cosmotology and then became a fifth grade science and social studies teacher.</p>

<p>she said John Cabot's last name like (Kay-bot)</p>

<p>and nonchalent as (non-cha-lant)</p>

<p>I frankly respect teachers who are brave enough to say "I don't know" and research the material later much more than those who just give random answers to questions.</p>

<p>This is why I love my graph theory teacher (even though she's boring and stumbles a lot over her words). If you ask her a question, she'll actually contemplate it and try to come up with an answer. (And she seems to actually like her subject.)</p>

<p>AP Calc BC without a doubt. My teacher is scenile (he's like 75 yrs old), doesn't teach, doesn't answer your questions, and is completely oblivious to the fact that 1/2 the class is cheating on his tests (not including me). Calc is bad enough, but my teacher makes it so much worse.</p>

<p>Chem. I can't stand the teacher or the topic.</p>

<p>Pre-Calc. Not even honors, so the subject is very easy, but the kids in my class are for the most part terrible, I have it first period, and my teacher is very nice but really is not a good teacher.</p>

<p>PreCal. isn't much fun either; my teacher makes fun of me in front of the class. T_T</p>

<p>Honors Physics, because the teacher doesn't do his job. We're using College Physics by Serway and Faughn, which is a recommended book for 1st year college physics or 2nd year high school, but this is everyone's first year in physics. Plus, he teaches the class like a community college class, because he's a community college instructor (not a professor, though, he only has a BA). Which means it's basically worthless. He's pretty knowledgeable on the subject, just he doesn't teach it well. Plus he and I have a major personality conflict, so it really doesn't work well. I wanted to drop it, because the regulars teacher is actually competent and it would inflate my grade from a B- (B+ with the 5 bonus points for honors) to an A.</p>

<p>And Faith Morality Justice, because we don't do anything in religion class and I'd rather have that period to do something constructive like add another AP. That's the one bad thing about Catholic school.</p>

<p>AP Biology, by far the most boring class ever. I will def. stay away from bio as long as i live. Basically anything besides science is interesting to me.</p>

<p>Honors Physics 1. I'm currently a senior, however, in order to graduate from my high school I am required to take a physics "one" course even though I've taken three years of science already what with Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, and AP Biology. The class is made up of mainly juniors, most of whom aren't too good at math which means that we move incredibly slowly. It's basically a death course.</p>

<p>Engineering Physics.</p>

<p>Mainly because I have no idea what in the world goes on.</p>
