English Class Sucks

[FlyCharlestonSC]

I've always hated English/Literature class (don't we all :P ) but my teachers make it quite interesting! I think it all depends on the teacher

It really does. I have had such excelent english teachers. It really makes all the difference.

Now math is another story...

I hated English untill thsi year, our teacher rules. We get next to no homeowrk, everything is laib back and enjoyable. he gets sidetracked easily (once we had to do some plays, we ended up arguing about something in Prison). Hes awesome, and i have to say, im probably learning a hell of a lot more than last years, bore a thon

Math is a lot better than English.

The reason I say that is because Math is very objective. There's only 1 right answer. As long as you understand the concepts, it's a piece of cake.

The problem sometimes (often with me), is finding the 1 right answer....

The only thing I like about English is that I'm reasonably good at it & get good grades in there. And that's all the good...

Try reading Julius Caesar & not understanding most of the words because of the dialect Shakespeare used. (Thank God for bookrags.com! )

It doesn't help that our teacher's a remarkably rude, annoying b*tch who is always right & is despised by 95% of the students that have her. She said that one of my friends' recent book reports (which he did mostly on his own, with the help of a neighbor with a minor in English) was "too good" & gave him a 0 on it. Needless to say, he was pissed.

She's also making another friend of mine recite the "Friends, Romans, Countrymen..." speech tomorrow....after she's been out for 2 weeks with Mono & has been barely able to move, let alone study. Anna (the 2nd "she") was less than happy when I walked to the parking lot with her after school.

English, however, is so subjective. When you try to understand "the deeper meaning" and symbolism, etc...everyone can have a different opinion. The teacher is not always right, because he/she is not the author. So for him/her to say "This is right, and everything else is wrong" is quite simply, bullsh*t!

Nope Greg, gotta disagree there. Math rules - it's basically all I go to school for.

As for English, it is pretty good as well. What I don't like however is how my photography teacher tries to look for the deeper meaning in every photograph he sees. Maybe the guy just took it coz he liked what he saw, and not because it symbolized loneliness and corruption in society.

So I take you are not a great fan of Iambic Pentameter?

I hate english class too. I don't give a damn about meter and what not in poetry or the symbolism of a name

I know exactly what you mean.

And our stupid teacher...she thinks she is the only right one.

In To Kill A Mockingbird, we have to identify so many examples of symbolism. For some objects, everyone's opinion is different. But she thinks hers is the only right one. She never listens to anyone's reasoning...she even argued with another teacher because she insisted that she was right.

Re: English Class Sucks

Don't want to start a war or nothing but I hate many things the USA does so don't get me started on that. Not to mention you speak ENGLISH and it was the English that gave you most of what you have !!

Other then that I have nothing to say [img]evil2.gif[/img]

Aside from another typical and irrational anti-American outburst from Darryl, what was the point of bringing this up? How is it related to someone's English course?

Whoah man this topic is what... 17 months old?

Of course kind of fitting because I had an AP english exam for 4 hours this morning.
