Favorite subjects?

[Tara]

I tried to be specific, but you generally get the picture. I'll feel really stupid if I missed any major subjects, but I think those are the basics. (shows you how much I like school) I just wanted to cover the basic courses in high school, but if there are others you feel like discussing go ahead, I don't care. lol

Also, did you have any favorite teachers and if so, what was so special about them?

In my school, we just got an Anthropology class approved which is so wonderful and is taught by one of my favorite teachers. She is the only person I know that has gone to all these places all over the world. I'm not sure that she's been to Europe, but she's been to countries in India, Africa and China. She might have done more, but I forget. She's got a great sense of humor and has even named her classroom after her last name and added the word 'stan' to it which in the middle east, I think it means 'land of'. She brings all sorts of cool "toys" and slides from her trips. One time she brought water back from the River Ganges which is considered a holy river in India. She wears clothing from all over the world on a daily basis and has inspired the students to do the same. Her teaching style is very simple and it's hard to fail her class although she can be a tough grader. To me, she's the perfect teacher. But I can assure you, she has her flaws, just like everyone else.

I also like an English teacher who is a poet and has kept his writings since the 5th grade (i think that's when he started). Like many cool English teachers, he's crazy. lol I've never known a person to be so wise and understanding and easy to talk to. He claims to enjoy debates and discussions in the classroom best b/c he likes to see all of us go at it in the classroom but still be respectful of each other. He too is tough on grades.

So yeah, I picked English class b/c English teachers have always been cool, at least the ones I've had anyways.

Out of the basics, English was my favourite. My grade nine English teacher was hilarious...always making spelling mistakes and yelling at Wendell...heh...that was great. ;D

BUT...my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE subject was drama. I love acting! (and our teacher was cool).

That's a difficult decision. I'm big into literature/english, as well as humanities, but I went with science because I was such a huge science buff in high school. I remember I had a subscription to Discover magazine and watched all those nature and science programs. Also, all the coolest teachers were science folk. My favorite teacher in h.s. was Mr. B. who taught me both Chemistry and Biology. He hated me for two reasons: 1) I got the highest grades in his Chem. class, beating out his own son. 2) I broke a lot of glassware. Yet, his hatred was shown in such a hilarious way. It was like he wanted to hate me, but couldn't because I was such a good student.

I also really liked a history prof. in that school. But he didn't really teach, he was "the coach" who shared all sorts of stories with the class after teaching for only 10 minutes. The English teachers were all biznatches, though I did get along with all of them. It really wasn't until college that I was more into humanities and arts.

English/literature for me, though it has to share 1st place with psychology. Lucky me, I'm a teacher in English and psychology and I love it

Hmm...religion and philosophy or language arts...I'm undecided as of yet.

I was thinking of majoring in philosphy, but I'm not sure.



People are saying that positions for theology and theology classes in general are begining to die. So I moved over to philosophy.

If only the stupid religious leaders would simply behave!
