School subjects

I loved English, both literature and language. Also biology. Disliked Maths and Physics. I think I was scared of these subjects as I had been ill and had had 6 months off school. I never caught up. Art was my absolute favourite though and I went on attend art school.

All aspects of English--Spelling--Geography---Art---Drama.

I didn't have the patience to work at Maths, though my father, an excellent mathematician did his best to get it into my head. I was happiest with my head in a book and loved History, French and Classics. I was so glad to give up cookery and needlework after two years. I'd have happily continued with Physics but Science clashed with my preferred subjects.

English, lit and lang, was my forte - loved it; maths my nemesis until the scales finally fell from my eyes a few years after I left school! I was good at art and history, enjoyed music (mostly singing), hated domestic science, needlework and games. Struggled somewhat with sciences, and we didn’t do languages. I think I learned more when I left school than I did when I was there.

Every poster liked English, it seems.
