At high school,

b) if you can recall, favorite teacher! (Music teacher, whose name I can't remember, but with a figure I'll never forget!)

Geez champoin @Tiger_heart, it's a while back in time for me to recall teachers' names.

Yeppers, I always loved English; science was not my strong suit back then - but more to do with the teacher's approach at the time, I think now.
Oh, is sport a subject?? 🤣🤣

Mathematics was my best French was by far my worst( i did pass my exams but a French girlfriend i had when i was about 19 in France advised me never to try to speak it).
My Geography teacher was the best looking and she knew it.

1) Fav = English... no worst. All somewhat enjoyable.

2) liked my year 5 teacher, wont name drop him... as for high school, they were all ordinary.

Learnt more in the work force and from life than I ever did in school.

(School is important. Stay in school kids. Great memories of those days. Can be bad times but overall, it's a great period of one's life)

My favourite subject was Maths had great teachers in High School who made it enjoyable. Favourite teacher was Miss Dixon (PE teacher)…..Oh Miss Dixon was all the boys favourites. Had a pretty good time at school between suspensions. If Sports High Schools were around back then I don’t think I would have wanted to ever leave

Totally enjoyed all subjects except english
All my teachers were great ,whether old school harsh (no pun intended) kind of heart or fruit loop mad or a drunk . Mr Nurker from primary school was the only teacher i hold no respect for

High school isn't really relevant with me, as I spent so little time there at all for various reasons, including migraines, suspensions and expulsion, having not wanted to attend the local 'opportunity school', to finish primary.

Subject wise, math, history and geography were my forte, whilst my Y6 teacher Mr Dixon, was no doubt equally responsible for my winning some form of state prize that included a shiny 'racing bike' and $100 in 1977.

I learnt so much that year, because he communicated so well that he was able to fulfil his curriculum requirements and then go much further. Particularly providing a realistic history of the previous 2 centuries upon finishing the whitewashed British version of the time, which was eye opening.

Context for the younger here. We all had to sing God Save The Queen to begin each day when I began primary.

Biology by far the best, followed by Maths. Worst definitely Modern History because I spent too much time mucking up. Favourite Teacher was my Maths Teacher simply because she was very good at explaining it, so I went from being very bad at it to ending up doing OK.
Never got suspended but got warned several times.
