What was your favourite/worst subject at school?

numberplease sounds like you went to my school! I hated it, every minute the only useful thing I learnt was how to read maps thanks to a good geography teacher called Mr. Foss

Nice comments Greenmossgiel, thank you, but no way on earth would I EVER go back to school! Not that school anyway.

Physics was my downfall. 32%- no more, no less, in every exam. It gave me up after two interminable years! Geography was always my favourite, followed by Italian which I started in the fifth form - must be something to do with the wonderful food and wine that attracted me to it!

How lovely to have a twin glassortwo

No, you weren't and aren't a 'thicko', numberplease! I think circumstances played a large part in how we progressed at school in those days. I suppose that they do these days, too. You know you're no 'thicko'! Probably if we had the chance - or the wish -again to have another go at our education, we'd make a better job of it! So there!!!

Well Baggy I definitely have that!

Loved English Literature, could put up with English Language, loved History, quite liked Geography, and liked Biology.
Hated Maths with a passion, OK at arithmetic, but they lost me on algebra, geometry and trigonometry, and we had a teacher who used to throw board rubbers (the wooden backed ones!) at people she thought weren`t paying attention. Miss Johnston, I hope one of them eventually came back and bit you! I also could never get the hang of Physics and chemistry, French was alri-i-i-ght, if only Miss Millward had stopped playing with her outsize beads! And don`t even get me started on PE and games!!!
I was so bad at maths, and got such a low mark in the mock GCE, 3%, that I wasn`t allowed to take the real one, thank God, and I also dropped Geography. Ended up taking my GCE in 6 subjects, but only passed in 2, English language and French. What a thicko!!

I was worst at Latin in my first year though didn't dislike it; I just hadn't a clue what was going on! After an appalling exam result my mum tutored me all through the summer hols (she was so ashamed! ) and I did fine the following year. Otherwise, it was chemistry, which I still intend to study. OH bought me a chemistry set to play with but I haven't started yet.

I quite liked everything else, especially English and Maths.
janreb, yes, you can be maths dyslexic. It's called dyscalculia.

I loved English and French. Maths and science subjects baffled me! (Still do.) We were lucky enough to be taught French and German by native speakers, which I am sure made a difference to how we learned them. Although I don't remember having the problem when I was at school I have noticed recently a tendency to transpose numbers - I 'think' them in the right order but write them down wrong!

susiecb are you my twin, I would have posted the exact same post

Ahh Miss Wright our History teacher she was the most fantastic teacher, she seemed ancient (probably wasnt) and always smelled of cigarettes and strong coffee.........

My favourite was history, I loved it and still do. Worse was definitely maths. Can you dyslexic with maths? I still hate anything to do with numbers. Needless to say I loved my history teacher and hated all maths teachers.

I loved English and History and was physcially put outside the maths room for being thick. I transpose numbers in the way dyslexics transpose words but no-one belives me. Thank God for spreadhseets!

My favourite subjects were metalwork and science. The subjects I hated were woodwork and book keeping - strangely, even though I hated them I was quite good at them. Even more oddly woodwork is now one of my main hobbies.

I loved English (and also Latin, which was included for 6 months only when I first started senior school). I also loved Art but hated Maths, Physics etc!
