General studies, pointless or what?
At least "Humanities" had some use as it told us what drugs were available and what you might expect to experience if you took them.
"Games" and PE were a total waste of everybody's time
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
My biggest surprise was when I started on O level music in my third year at secondary school. Loved playing classical guitar (by then in my 4th year) and had no interest or love whatsoever for the classical music repertoire outside that somewhat narrow field. I didn't care when Bach was born or what the difference was between a concerto and a symphony. Bored to the point of no excrement.
I don't feel like that now, mind....
This is a tough one.
I'm going for Latin, though. My school report read - "Effort 1/10 - He has given up the struggle."
geography. I actually remember the teacher spending a whole hour dictating direct from the text book as a regular lesson plan.
woodwork, its the only subject I failed.
Instagram
I only made it to the Cabinet through bloody hard work.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
passed all my O levels except that, which was unclassified (which I thought was harsh)
having said that, maybe there is something in all that mumbojumbo (we only did Christianity in those days) because my RS teacher pretty much predicted the outcome viz. “Steven, I don’t think writing God doesn’t exist because ... is a good idea when you sit your exam whether you believe it or not” . He was probably right
I gave up half way through the second year, just sat in each class drawing pictures and trying to work out the bloody calculator and promptly failed the exam with flying colours. Utter waste of time and I have no idea why I opted to do it.
The pupils played a prototype of Boycott Bingo. Points were awarded every time that the teacher said certain words. Points were deducted if the teacher addressed a question to you by name. It helped to pass the time. Time Itself seemed to have slowed to a crawl.
Hear hear, I was practically standing on my own toes beneath the desk to stay awake.
It got good on two occasions only:
1. The day someone in my class submitted an essay on the composer "Rackmeoff"
2. The day someone in my class was caught tossing one off on the back row - "So the quaver is blah blah STOP WANKING AT THE BACK THERE! about half the time of a blah blah"
geography
english (although I got on all right with the Shakespeare, discovering the Elizabethan mindset was interesting enough)

Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
The only good things about it were the teacher had big tits and liked to wear a short skirt and that it was last lesson on a Friday so I used to skive it and walk home sometimes. The only lesson that bored me so much I couldn't be arsed to go to
