Guest JoshIcy Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 1. I have always thought that English Class sucks and most of the teachers will admit it. But its the DOE playing it safe as it is a review or something. But since it has always been second nature to me to understand much of what I read without thought it hasn't even bothered me too much. 2. Is there another term you can use? It might be called differently in Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those yeah... They have been a pain, but all of my teachers up until this point have kept it varied enough. And I haven't ever gotten at home reading except for the mandatory 30min a day or something, which can be killed in school.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuldur Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 English isone of my favorite Subjects in School, it's only second to Sports and Science ( only because my teacher is probably the best teacher ever ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch of philanthropist soft-shell feminists; the typed that'd probably die instantly if you threw down a set of stairs. 2. My books suck, and the coursework actually makes me hate reading; it just shows redundancies in the stories, and how each book is exactly the same as another.

It actually tells something about the effort you put into typing at that actually tells about what kind of person you are.And, typing without capitalizing a thing make you look like a n00b. Never had problems with English class. I actually love it. I got a nice teacher, and it's kinda the only class where I can talk English without somebody complaining: "We live in the Netherlands, we don't speak English" :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
