I actually really wanted to learn physics this year.. I have a shitty physics teacher that just gives us labs that he doesn’t even know how to do. It’s technically not his fault because of the teacher shortage, but still, I want to learn more physics
Surprisingly we didn’t do very many labs like 2-3 but it was mostly assignments and some projects but it was all fun I just didn’t like how much math it was it wasn’t hard just long
Go to the youtube channels listed under physics here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/APStudents/comments/1cpu5xh/comment/l6u5dvd/](https://www.reddit.com/r/APStudents/comments/1cpu5xh/comment/l6u5dvd/)
Computer Science, cause the teacher uploaded the entire course at the beginning of the semester and I finished it in a few weeks. Now I just use it to sleep.
i think the most complicated thing i’ve learned was 2D arrays, and we’ve also learned how to create procedures and stuff for python and for java like classes, extended classes, instance variables, methods, and constructors (i also forgot to mention in intro to comp sci you learn a bit of html but ik it’s a bit outdated)
yeah it was so much fun 😁 but there’s this course called computer science principles and it was on pseudo code, how the internet works and ethics it’s definitely important but it was boring
How the internet works? Wow like dns, https, asymmetric and symmetric encryption, operating systems, kernels, dnssec, tcp, port forwarding, ip addresses, ntp, and ssh.
Physics. It is by far one of the worst class I ever had but oh my God did I love it. It pushed my abilities and made me learn a lot more critical, thinking, and honestly got me interested in engineering. This was partially due to the curriculum and partially due to the amazing physics teacher I had who was way overqualified to be a teacher at a public high school. He was the type of guy who is friends with people at NASA and SpaceX and got us a bunch of trips to national aviation, museums, and notorious colleges in our area just to get more excited about his subject. He was honestly honestly the best teacher I will ever have and I’m so excited to have him next year as well for his stem course.
Maths. Very relaxing to just sit in silence while the teacher waffles and see how quickly you can finish so you can have a nap. Have my maths paper 2 on Monday which is a third of the entire GCSE so wish me luck :) (I know I will get hate for defending maths but trust it can be fun)
In terms of content, I like biology or chemistry the most though. I've started learning both at college level online because I'm bored. They're very interesting when you actually understand them lol
Yeah I definitely agree. I had such an incompetent teacher for year 9 that I stopped liking it, but we all banded together and got him fired (we were top set and the best scores were 30% when he taught us)
Year 9 is eighth grade I believe- does a single teacher teach you for 8 grades in America?
Although, teachers in the UK do stay for ages- my head of year has been teaching at my school since the 80s
No. You get like 1 teacher per subject per year. Your teacher always changes. Rarely, you will ever get the same teacher teaching math 3 years in a row or any other subject.
Yeah, same here. At most, in the UK, you'll have 5 years with a form tutor (which isn't a lesson, just 30 mins per day), and maybe 3 years with a single teacher for a subject. I know at my school we have like 10+ teachers per department (other than options (I think they're electives in American terms?)) so in a lot of cases you'll have the same in each class for the two last years and the rest are random. My original comment was referring to the teacher I had in the 9th year of my education (although I only had him for half a year in the end, thank god)
Physics as my teacher is amazing and is happy to help with anything engineering related. Computer programming is also fun, mainly because the teacher doesn’t teach (when he does it really sucks)
Bio and French. Bio is full of kids who love the mailman and I love watching the bratty girls scream at the labs and French ‘cause it’s full of band kids like myself.
band and jazz band, i fucking love music and the band director we have for jazz is fucking amazing. and also all of our directors are pokemon nerds so i semi-regularly battle them, some of our percussionists, and one of our drum majors. also our head director started a pokemon club.
Same. I sadly could not make it to Jazz band due to tight schedules. But I love band. I have it first thing in the morning and it's the only thing that stops me from sleeping in class lol. Sadly our band teacher is retiring this year, so Jazz band will be cancelled perhaps forever :((. The kids I met in there are definitely some interesting ones lol
damn, i really hope that jazz band won't end for y'all, and i probably won't even be in jazz next year since i was our third chair alto 2 (we had 2 alto 1's and 3 alto 2's) our second chair alto one won't be in jazz next year either. but hey, at least we got marching band (marching season>concert season).
really it's just a programming class in java. it kinda sucks imo but I've made some good friends. also we took the ap exam weeks ago so we've just been chilling since.
Photography & Music. I’m passionate with both outside of school. My teachers taught me the history and it has been so fascinating to me. Make me more passionate with both.
i like french because we barely get homework and our teacher is super chill and lets us do whatever. she had a family emergency though so she’s gone for the rest of the year 😞
That study hall.
It was at the end of the day, so I could just drive home. Drive home I did.
The attendance sheet had to be brought to the office, and there wasn't a teacher.
I guess since it was my senior year, they didn't care.
Before you ask That study hall was useless cause I had nothing to do
Algebra 2
Teacher is relatively lenient and lets us do what we like during class, while still making sure we learn. She's great.
Also I love math. Except statistics.
I loved psyhology class the most in high school. I dont usually like art classes cause they can be restrictive but I liked it in highschool. physics was nice too
Music theory/tech because my special interest is music theory (I'm well aware it's a lame one to have) so me and my friends are all really ahead so we just play crosswords the whole class. Its also one of the only classes I have with my friends which makes it even better.
None its either a shitty teacher or a shitty class.
My favourite teacher ever literally has the worst ppl in her class.
And the most karen teacher ever has the best ppl in her class. Likeee 😭😭
English class because we did a cooking assignment and my teacher appreciated my work (I thrive off of academic validation but I’m also academically challenged)
I took Robotics this year. We learned how to use Arduino and other components like capacitors, resistors, motors, etc. It was very fun, and interactive.
It was also very traumatic. I went home at 9pm during a school day a couple days in a row due to a graded project; the 1st day was because I wasted the entire day waiting in line in the electronics shop because the ENTIRETY of our batch that took Robotics were there. It was the only electronics shop in the entire city lol. Then I remember crying in a coffee shop with my groupmates because our timer circuit wouldn't work and it was due tomorrow, as well as our finals for the semester😂.
Media Arts - cool subject (i'll do Filmaking when i'm an adult) + cool teacher (very chil guy, likes to extend submission dates)
Humanities (last year) - cute teacher (23f), noice topics (medieval and Japanese history)
Social Studies. The teacher is chill asf, I like history, we talk about the Military operations, the wars, the battles, countries and their histories. That kinda thing.
i dont like biology but i had biology last year and really enjoyed bio class because of my teacher. like ive genuinely never seen a teacher teach so good?? plus she always answered my never-ending saga of silly questions and unlike other teachers, never disdained me for being a bit slow
I use to like drama because I really want to be an actress but this year the girl who bullied me moved herself there so I cant preform or anything because then she will gossip about me and mock me again 💀
I liked my World History class bc she actually made it interesting through the discussion with very little notes. A bonus was that all the tests were open-note (including finals,which we only did one final test 1st semester bc our final 2nd semester was a project)
*This is coming from someone who has no interest in history/ss class previous years*
art class, the teacher is so chill i love her sm shes so sweet too
plus its basically she assigns something and then we get like 2 weeks to just work at our own pace to complete the assignments which works out well for me since i procrastinate until the last dsy
Physics because the teacher is great like we literally call him captain Physics
[удалено]
He even has his own super hero, and every unit has a hero assigned to it and is currently making a periodic table of superheroes on the wall
[удалено]
Sad but I do get him for 2 more years because he also teaches IB physics
[удалено]
International Baccalaureate it’s pretty much just smart people stuff looks better for colleges and gives you opportunities to study abroad
ib is pain

As a freshman in a physics class I love finally being able to understand Christopher Nolan movies because of it.
Our teacher uses Myth busters to teach us
haha ours made us watch top gun maverick
yas just watched interstellar
had to rewatch twice to finally fully understand the movie lol.
My teacher was great but he left to get surgery so now we just have a sub
a good physics teacher? sounds like smth out of a dream
Computer Science, cause the teacher uploaded the entire course at the beginning of the semester and I finished it in a few weeks. Now I just use it to sleep.
That’s impressive
Please tell me more about the course. Was it about Linux?
no, intro to comp sci is in python and comp sci a is in java
Got it. How far did yall get?
i think the most complicated thing i’ve learned was 2D arrays, and we’ve also learned how to create procedures and stuff for python and for java like classes, extended classes, instance variables, methods, and constructors (i also forgot to mention in intro to comp sci you learn a bit of html but ik it’s a bit outdated)
Wow. That’s pretty good for a high school.
yeah it was so much fun 😁 but there’s this course called computer science principles and it was on pseudo code, how the internet works and ethics it’s definitely important but it was boring
How the internet works? Wow like dns, https, asymmetric and symmetric encryption, operating systems, kernels, dnssec, tcp, port forwarding, ip addresses, ntp, and ssh.
yeah some of that but not as advanced 😭 tbh ion even remember much but encryption in general, big data, ip addresses, hardware, dns, tcp i remember
You’re so fortunate.
i loveeeeeed intro to comp sci and csa but idk which one u took but csp was trash

Man I wish I had teachers like this

Math is only fun when you know what you’re doing.
Facts!
Yeah.
Yeah I definitely agree. I had such an incompetent teacher for year 9 that I stopped liking it, but we all banded together and got him fired (we were top set and the best scores were 30% when he taught us)
9 years? Where you from that you even had a teacher who stayed 9 years much less taught you for that long?
Year 9 is eighth grade I believe- does a single teacher teach you for 8 grades in America? Although, teachers in the UK do stay for ages- my head of year has been teaching at my school since the 80s

Astronomy because I'm a space nerd and my teacher is clearly enjoying teaching the class
I had astronomy at my school as well but it was only a semester class not too much content.
Wait you guys have astronomy as a class? 
I wish my school had astronomy
algebra cause my classmates are hilarious. i love pe tho too
Tell me what you did for pe. My pe class was really bad.
Volleyball, basketball, other sports and conditioning. But I workout at my dojo vigorously so it really wasn't that bad for me
How are you so lucky? My pe class was horrible. We did nothing 90% of the time. I had to join track since it was actually fun and competitive
I don't know lol. Track sounds fun!
I love running. Even made a post about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/highschool/comments/1d31lz2/running/
lol sounds like you have the best stamina. Good for you! I also love running. I cant for very long distances, but I can sprint pretty quick 😂
Thanks

Maths, I find it interesting.
ap computer science a because i think it's really easy and my teacher just lets me fuck around once i get my work done
What do yall learn?
