Classes to make you hate school

[vvvexation]

An idea of laurelwood's (found through pauraque) that deserves propagating: What's your idea of the curriculum from hell?

Here's mine:

Period 1: HISTORY- Wars Reduced Only To Dates of Battles and Maps of Troop Movements
Period 2: LANGUAGE ARTS- Novels Analyzed Page by Page
Period 3: ART- Deep Symbolism in Abstract Art
Period 4: P.E.- Endless Lap Running in "Loaner" Gym Clothes
Period 5: SCIENCE- Organic Chemistry (Lecture-Only Course)
Period 6: MATH- Applications of Integral Calculus

OChecm as lecture only actually works for me. The rest, yeah, that's right up (down?) there.

Period 1: MORALITY - Memorize the rules, the reasons do not matter
Period 2: FIGURES IN RELIGIOUS HISTORY - Names, sects and dates
Period 3: ART - Deep Symbolism in Abstract Art
Period 4: P.E. - Endless Lap Running in "Loaner" Gym Clothes
Period 5: PRACTICE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE - write code to show you can
Period 6: MATH - Applications of Integral Calculus
