If u could drop one of tour subjects and/or teachers which one would it be and why

[Crazy Ace]

For me it would have to be biology. I went in it just because it is a science and i do well in science but i just realized it has nothing to do with what i am going to do when i leave school and besides, bio is boring unlike physics or chemistry

[Guest cloricus]

This is a rather silly topic as all you need to do is go to who ever co-ordinates your subjects with parental support and ask to change to some thing else that you like or is available.

[Fatty_McGee]

[size=1]...Well...

I think that I want to drop Algebra. I mean, its ok and all, very informative. But BORING, AND DULL, AND UNEVENTFUL...well..they all mean the same thing. OH well...you get my point. basically i want to drop algebra, but thats not one thing my parents are going to let me do anytime soon.

[/size]

[Sara]

[size=1]...I hope you keep your English class.

Personally, I enjoyed biology. Once we got out of the flatworm chapters, it was really quite interesting. [b]C[/b]6[b]H[/b]12[b]O[/b]6 and all that. We had a first year teacher, as well. She was very cool.

If I could drop one class and have no repercussions, I would probably drop economics. No good reason, just the boredom factor. However, it is required for graduation, so...

All in all, my classes are okay. I just wish I had more [i]time.[/i][/SIZE]

[color=red] I'd drop Geometry. I had a D in that class second quarter. Luckily, the first quarter of the class was easier, got a B there. So for a semester grade it all evens out as a C.

Now I'm just worried about doing bad this semester. Bleh.

I'd keep most else of my classes. Nothing too bad.

I'd drop Chemistry if I could too. Today is the first day of second semester for me. I'm going to hate Chemistry.

I'd rather just take some creative writing class, and all writing classes.

We don't even [i]have[/i] creative writing classes here at my school. Pff.

I hate you people that have creative writing class! [/color]

[Japan]

Right now, I want to get rid of English or Geometry. English because it is a regular integraded class and we don't do crap in that class. We don't do any form of writing at all. We never have homework. That's why, next semester, I am going into College Prep English.
I also want to get rid of Geometry. It never seems to make sense and I hate doing proofs. :flaming: I just hate math in general. -_-
I guess that since I want to be a carpenter when graduate fro high school, I don't have much of a choice. Oh well. At least I am almost done with the course. *snicker* (I am homeschooled in math)

[Boba Fett]

[COLOR=green]I'd drop Latin II.

I'm currently taking PE/Health, Latin II, World History, Honors American Lit, AP Civics, Algebra II and Chemistry in the Community. There's also a study hall in there somewhere.

I'm not particularly good with Algebra or Latin II, but I feel that I need higher math. Foreign Languages... That's another story.[/COLOR]

[Transtic Nerve]

Ahh just think... when you get into college, you CAN drop all the classes you want.

[color=red] Yes.

That's because college costs money. And when you buy something yourself, you can stop paying it and not do it all the same.

There's also those stupid people that pay for their classes they never attend to, and thus waste their time at college. And money, not to mention.[/color]

[ChibiHorsewoman]

[color=violet]Whew boy. Well, if I was still in high school I definately know which class I'd want to drop-Religion. I went to a Private Catholic School and it was one of the required courses. Needless to say we never learned about any other religions but Christianity which is a real shame because I thought that was the whole point of religion class to learn about other eligions besides your own. So the whole course was really boring except when a friend of mine asked if Jesus could be a bastard since God and Mary weren't married.

Of course I also wanted to drop chemistry, but that was because I really sucked at it. I even considered dropping Environmental CHemistry in College, but that was one of the required courses for my major so that was a bit out of the question-Damn![/color]

[Semjaza]

I wouldn't mind dropping Environmental Science. However, my school requires a science class to finish, so dropping it would be pointless. I'd be stuck taking another dull, boring science class instead. Hardly an improvement.

[Patronus]

[size=1]I'd definitely drop Algebra. Yes, it will help me with other classes, such as Geometry or Algebra II, but the teacher doesn't teach all that well. I feel stupid because of that. I don't like feeling stupid. >.>

And don't think that I'm the only one who thinks this - all of his present students, and past students think the same thing. If he would refrain from telling jokes and stories all period, I'd get the stuff he was talking about.[/size]

[Morpheus]

If we didn't have social hour in Geometry I'd drop it. It is too much for an eigth grader to handle!(Yet I make better grades than the sophomores)

Actually, ChibiHorsewoman raises a good point. I'm at a Lutheran school, and we have a required theology course each year. It's maddening....especially this past semester. It's just been...bad. I don't learn anything during that class (I've gone to Lutheran schools for the last ten years of my life), and I'm impatient to be done with it.

Actually...I am done with it. I switch hours (and teachers) starting Monday, though, so we'll see how that turns out. It would be nice not to take theology, though.[/SIZE]

[size=1][color=003333]I'm going to go with Sara on this one.
If my school offered Latin, I'd jump all over it.


I'd drop Trigonometry, but not because I don't like it.
Math has never been my favorite subject, but that has forced me to study hard and actually make a waking effort to learn the stuff. All my other classes usually just sink in right away.

My teacher was raised in South Africa. He's a great guy. But he can't speak a decent word of english. I'm getting a D in his class this grading period due to this. And whenever I ask him to repeat something he acts all offended and yells.

Well, I guess I am kind of dropping the class. I'm switching to a different teacher next semester.

Twelve days and counting...[/size][/color]

[Yukazi]

[font=times new roman] I wanted to drop the Holocaust, and I did just that. It was the only class that I could really not stand at all. I was good until we began to watch the movies, and no matter how much violence you are used to, its too violent to comprehend the bloodshed. I went ahead and went to the Guidance Office and changed to another class, which happens to be a computer class. I should do pretty good now, but who knows.. People may start ripping off my work again. :p

Also, Since the Holocaust doesn't really bug me now that Im out, I would like to get out of Algebra 1. Ive finished the course already, passing, and their making me take it again because we have a new book. I would at least like to switch teacher if anything. I like my current ones style, but having him every day instead of every other is kinda driving me crazy. But, that's just my thoughts on his methods. If he needs two classes, then maybe I really do.. Who knows. [/font]

[Crazy Ace]

well cloricus i didnt know u could just drop a class that easy. i live in the bahamas and in my school u cant drop a class after the third week in september so im screwed when it comes to bio. Its a wonder though to me the subjects that u take. Geometry is just a topic in math over here and so is trigonometry and algebra(which are both easy). My subjects are math english bio physics chemistry PE Geography Food scienceand spanish
I go to the top school over here [url]www.st-andrews.com[/url] it is the most expensive and i go there on academic scholarship and all of my classes are equivalent to honors classes in the United states

[Mitch]

[size=1][color=red] It is bad to drop Latin II, yes Boba Fett, it is. Thinking I am you should keep this class, I am.

I'm in Latin I right now. Yes, it is challenging, but it's like that with any foreign language. I took Spanish last year (waste of time, should've taken Latin right away) and it's just as hard as Latin. Or any language class.

I've always wanted to learn German too. Hey, Sara, say, can we switch lives during Latin and German class, and mutually share brains? ;p

Heh. German seems like an awesome language, must learn it some day.

I know that Latin is hard. I hate all these declensions and crap, and how you have to memorize all these cases: accusative, ablative, dative, nominative. It's the same thing with any language, though, I'd say. Just gotta suck it in, learn the stuff, and become smarter.

Plus, if you want to go to a good college (which I'm assuming you're a senior in High School) you need two years of language, mebelieves.

And whoever drops an English class should be shot. English rocks, and if it doesn't, then make it that way! I mean, writing's not for class, it's for you to do on your own if you like writing enough, silly.

Now Geometry. That's a class worth dropping, I think. Too bad it's required. *winces in pain*[/size][/color]

[666jInZo]

Im in a techinal college so the class i wish i could drop is the one im sitting now. Network Standrads and Protocools. GOD this is a Yawn FEST. This is class all about the types of network protocools and the theory behind it. See this is VERY boring stuff.

[sesshoumaru0013]

My music class is boring, dull, and downright stupid. Unfortunatly, I HAVE to take it.

[ChibiHorsewoman]

[color=violet]When I was in high school-okay junior high and high school-I wanted nothing more than to drop gym class. I really didn't see the point of running around so you could show just how uncoordinated you are. I tripped enough in the hallways-I fell down the stairs once going to lunch. I really didn't think that my peers needed any more light into the fact that I was a klutz.

Unfortunately, it's a required course and you can't drop it. The only time I had any fun in the class tho was floor hockey and the folk dance unit, butthat's only because i was intimidating in floor hockey and I didn't have to change for folk dance.

As for Latin, I never took it. My school offered the course, but I took French instead-which I can't remember. I know people who say that the most useful thing they learned in Latin was how to say that you kiss a donkey's butt. I don't know how useful that really is, but if you consider that an important skill-more power to ya![/color]

[Mitch]

[size=1][color=red] Actually, Chibi, about 60% of English words are derived from Latin. German is like this in a sense, with a lot of German words looking closely to English ones.

So it isn't a waste of time, even if it's a dead language. If you're planning on pursuing a career in the writing field, then it's beneficial that you have a concrete grasp of language, as well as a varied vocabulary of English.

Knowing some Latin, you can look at a word, and guess its meaning.

Also, there's the use of it in scientific terms. The entire human anatomy is made up of Latin words; the entire way we name a species and such is used by two Latin words which describe it (I believe, if memory serves. If it isn't right, it's somewhere in line with that).

The shortened forms of Elements is often taken from Latin (but there's about one that's taken from German). An example is the shortened form of Potassium is actually K. Sodium Na.

So knowing some Latin has very good uses if you plan on going into sciences, or plan on having a writing career.

Also, words such as etc, eg, and so on, are taken from Latin themselves. Etc is a shortened form of the latin phrase [i]et cetra[/i], vaguely meaning "and so on."

You know the company Megnavox? Vox (pronounced "w-oh-x" in latin) is the word for voice in Latin. Whoever came up with that name, which is higly easy to remember, took Latin in school and was smart enough to implement it in a cool way.

Latin and knowing other languages has many, many uses than you seem to say, Chibi.

Anything you learn in school isn't totally useless, you know. It can be applied in a lot of ways. It's just that some people don't have the sense to do it, and thus aren't as intelligent because of it.[/size][/color]

You're right about German, by the way. English is a Germanic language, and some words are just too close [i]not[/i] to recognize. It's cool like that. [/SIZE]

I'm planing on droping french(If I didn't have relatives that speech french I would have never took that course in the first place)

[size=1][color=red] You're right. That's not necessarily right. But I'd like to think they took Latin and were then that smart heh.

And I don't think the average person would know that, though. I mean, you're Sara, you're quirky, you're a language nut. A regular person isn't heh.

It was a valid point.[/size][/color]
