Favourite School Subject

[crodonilson]

Me, my asian babe girlfriend and some selected freidns were reminiscing down the Dog & Duck last night about our school days which turned into quite a heated debate about what the best school subject was.

So in your opinion just what was your favourite subject at school??

[Dave the OAP]

History, as that was the only subject I was any good at- says someone working now in IT

 

[magoo]

Depends on the teacher dunnit. But my aptitude was always for music.

 

[Mendoza]

Music - Miss Weston

You work with IT history, though... AS/400s aren't of this millennium Dave

 

[Trigger]

Stock Cupboard - Miss Broome

That went so far over my head it's in orbit!

I liked PE becuase running around kicking balls beat sitting at a desk for 50 minutes any day of the week.

probably right...although this week we have had three new customers buy the new generation i5 machines....seems they are making a comeback.

So long as they carry on for the next 15 off years until I retire that would be nice

 

[Trufflehound]

Social Education?

In the 70s we called that "Trying to get your hand inside Karen Hobbs' knickers at the school disco."

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Geography just about beats IT

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Painting & Drawing
Graphics

We used to have another name for those subjects called "Art"

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Geography, but a close call with Maths.

What is social education? Is that.... learning to socially interact and talk to people other than those on computers!?

 

[Marshy]

History for me.

 

[DC Rules]

Maths - I was good at it (and fancied the teacher!)

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Funny how nobody voted for computer studies/IT.

Our IT lessons were tremendously dull and consisted of basic word processing using a BBC Microcomputer, taught grudgingly by a cantankerous old bag with bad hair and smokers' breath.

The internet was still in its infancy, and certainly hadn't reached the point where computers at schools in places like Hassocks could have access.

Imagine a world without the internet now yet it really wasn't that long ago, in the grand scheme of things.

It's probably what they called PSVE at my school, PSE at some others.

Where they teach you things you need to interact with society, including finance, citizenship, love & relationships (the teacher we had at the time tried so hard to be "down with the kids", she insisted on telling us about her own sex life, which is not what you want to hear at 15 years old )
