Ugh...English Class

[Kuervo]

i really hate english class this year. is it just me or are these classes getting harder every year. so i live in AZ, which apparently is not a very smart state =/, and my english 5-6 (ima junior btw) is from massachussetts, a moderately smart state lol. she doesnt tell us the hw, we have to get it ourselves, a freaking 10pg research paper in spring, memorizations 20 pgs long, and the list goes on and on......bleeeh

how is ur english class life?
do u like it or not?

[Amnesiac]

I like english, because I'm unusually good at writing. Not bragging either.

[skinny_white_boy]

I don't like the English part of class but I find my honors class fairly easy.. Anywho I like my teacher lol she's crazy but helpful

Bolded part: Yeah, that's how it's supposed to work.

English is my favorite, because I like writing and discussing it too.

i like english. i think as the years go on, it should be getting harder. the more harder, the more you learn, the smarter you get. just try your best at it dude. :)

I like English, its getting harder because that's what's suppose to happen seeing as it's school :P but I like it because of the things you can explore while learning it. The only thing I don't like is the coursework, but who does. I like learning to argue, persuade and things like that, plus it helps with everyday vocabulary.

English is probably the only class I like that I'm doing right now - despite the fact that I have to read all of The Handmaid's Tale by THURSDAY. -__-
Shit. I have so much reading to do, lol. I've barely even fucking started it.

Other than that, I'm naturally good at English, so therefore I don't find it that tedious, challenging, or whatever else. As a matter of fact, English Literature is more than likely going to be the course I take at uni in a couple of years.

I suppose my equivalent would be Catalan or Spanish, as English is taught as a foreign language at my school. I don't find Catalan or Spanish particularly difficult, though Catalan grammar is complicated, for me.

I like my English class. I've always liked it, it's easy for me, always has been. I just seem to understand it naturally. I enjoy it.

[Giles]

Well classes generally do get harder as you progress through school, so that explains that...

Personally I like English. I find it one of the easiest subjects that I'm taking at the minute, perhaps that's because I'm fairly good at the coursework or maybe it's just because I love the teacher. Either way it's one of my favourite lessons.

It's rather coincidental that I posted here today, I just found out earlier in English that if I improve two of my original pieces of coursework I should get an A* and therefore pass the majority of the course :/

This is how much I like English: I turned in my test-grade personal narrative (which I made up, by the way), got a 100, and the teacher asked for a second copy.

Needless to say, beast mode was achieved.

[laurita_21]

I hate it so much, only because my teacher keeps picking on me and she's just really pissing me off so I can't work properly. Im usually very good at english and creatinve writing but also it depends what teacher I've got. And right now, this theacher sucks, im not learning anything and she just gives me detentions for no reason.

[JackOfClubs]

I DETEST English class. I don't understand the point of writing in excess of 5 or 6 or 7 pages about one incident in a book. I will NEVER need to write that much for anything, except for college.

I hate it so much. The reason I don't read books any more is that class. The amount of shitty books we're forced to read has completely turned me off from reading for fun.

I like English because reading & writing are my strong points. However, my class has been very difficult this year too. (I'm a senior.) We're currently working on two huge projects at once, both are which are due within a week of each other. Not to mention the fact that my teacher is a very tough grader and doesn't round up grades at all. For example, if I get an 89, she calls it a B. Not an A- like most teachers I know would do.
Don't get me wrong, I like her, she's nice, but she treats us like we're in AP, when all I signed up for was Honors.

[Errr]

I live in Minnesota, which is a 'smart' state. And even thoguh I am above the national reading and writing standerds, its still semi-hard. We (im in 9th grade) are reading all Shakspears work, with reports and such on them. I am also reading Catcher In The Rye too.

Note: I'm still a bad speller...go figure!?

[starbrite5]

I love reading and discussing, so naturally I love English class. This year, my teacher is really harsh, but I have a feeling it will make my writing so much better. :)

[Perseus]

except for college.



That's why you do it.

And OP, don't complain about an eight page paper. I have to do a twenty five page paper by the end of the semester, and it's not even for my English class. We have no page limits in my English class. If you feel that a paper needs to be a page or less long, do it; it just depends on whether you explain yourself well and such in the paper for my class.
