Congratulations on your copy and paste 'exceptions' list.

Yes, I think we've established you don't see its worth.

What is your alternative?

Auto spell check and learn from it or in the past use a dictionary and learn from it

There you go.

Now tell me why we should teach children false rules?

According to the government it is no longer worth teaching.

In fact it is no longer taught according to Fry on this clip.

I use all three extensively in my chosen career, would agree that the teachers are very important as to whether you enjoy the subject.

Maths is the hardest sell to me, as I'm much more interested in words than numbers.

Seeing as so much of what I do is Chemistry and Physics based I probably now know far more about those subjects than what I was taught at A Level. Mind you some stuff (e.g.nanotechnology) didn't exist back then!

Congratulations on your copy and paste 'exceptions' list.

Why so catty? The fact is there are more exceptions that examples that fit the rule.

Yes he is a bit. Likes to ask questions but won't answer any.

But 923 apparently.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Enjoyed English out of those subjects, couldn't stand maths.

 

[Grombleton]

I was more interested by Science but I wasn't very good at it. Was good at English but found it boring.

I dropped Lit in the end - had to read Pride and Prejudice, Macbeth and Canterbury Tales (I did not get that far!). Not a good choice of books for a 14 year olds really.

That's a strange thing to say. I can imagine Pride and Prejudice not being a teenage boys thing but the other two are bang on for adolescent boys: one's full of violence and gore and the other about sex. That looks a really good mix for teenagers (better than the Grapes of Wrath, Macbeth and Pygmalion that I had to do).

Oh, maths for me. We didn't have science: I had to do Chemistry, Physics and Biology (and got my O Levels in them to prove it)

Back in the dim, distant, Watneys Red Barrel-fuelled 1970s, we had English Language and English Literature, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Additional Maths.

The 1970s English Language student, is todays grammar wanker

That would be "today's grammar ..." Signed A Wanker

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I can vividly remember 'Macbeth', 'The Machine Stops' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I can't remember being at all enthused by anything I ever studied in Maths, despite studying it for three more years.

Come now, one should end a sentence which is neither an exclamation nor a question with a full stop.

We had all the above at O-Level but also options for History, Geology, Geography and Latin (yes Latin!).

Loved both the first two subjects and Latin helped me understand the funniest scene in the Life of Brian!

Oh well played.

[Dick Head]

To be fair, it wasn't the whole of the Canterbury Tales!

Was it The Pardoner's Tale?

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

Did Maffs O'Level in the 4th Year, Eng. Lang. O' in the Nov allowing more revision space in the summer. The AO' Level Maffs was a good challenge.

English and Maths.

 

[crasher]

Maths can **** off. Tedious, cheese-paring, fiddly, unimaginative, do-it-by-the-rulebook drywank for people with no imagination, soul or friends.

Literature is the stuff of dreams, spirit and imagination - the only thing that makes the universe intelligible and the human condition bearable. If you want to soar like a star seagull - it's English. If you want to creep, sluggishly through the primordial slime like a slightly-evolved Chrystal Paliss fan then Maths is still available.

Can't wait to hear your opinion of Science!

Basically more maths, but with rocks and liquids and plants.
