Best: sciences, maths, Latin

Worst: English literature (I just wasn't mature enough for the books we had to read)

Fortunately we were never given grades for domestic science which I only took for half a year. Couldn't take it seriously: washing and ironing handkerchiefs, stewing rhubarb, colouring blancmange - why not deep purple or turquoise? What's so special about a normal cake - it's far more difficult to produce one half black and half white! Is there really a right and a wrong way to cut a tomato for a salad? No wonder the English had the reputation, at least in those days, of being the worst cooks in the world!

Best: English, languages, art, home economics

Worst: Math of any kind, advanced chemistry (i.e.: lots of math!), home economics.  

How, you say, can home ec be on both best and worst?  I'm a great cook but a lousy sewer LOL

THAT surprises me.

LOL @sivyaleah, I can cook some things but sewing?  Forget it.
I nearly failed the sewing.  Couldn't get a zipper in to save my life and forget about fancy rick rack trim. To this day, sewing on a button stresses me out 


Cooking is totally intuitive to me.  Would have gone to culinary school if I'd a) known it was even an option and b) had the money

Best: English; although I hated some of the books we had to read

Worst: Math. 

I was an average student at least.  My grades were just below honor society level for most subjects.  Strangely enough; I did much better in college.  I think it helped to be studying things I was interested in!

Best: anything but algebra/trig and chemistry. The weird thing was that I aced those subjects at university level with very little effort.

Best: Art was the only class I got 95-100% in. I got low 70's in English and History.

Worst: Everything else. Mostly Math and the Sciences. I avoided them, only took what was mandatory credits.

In my 12th grade year of high school, I only had 6 classes(opposed to 8). Each semester I had only 3 classes and then a free period. My friends and I all, with some work, managed to make our schedules so that even though we had different classes, our free periods lined up. That way, we could all take extended or early lunches, sleep in or leave early depending on how the day lined up! Not to mention, my 6 classes consisted of English, Religion, Art, Media Arts, Law, and Yearbook. I could have taken Yearbook both semesters but I dropped my second semester because the teacher was a real d*ckhead. 

I was lucky enough that things like calculus and advanced science(bio, phys, chem), we no longer mandatory courses after 10th grade.
