favourite subject at school. What was it and has it changed as since? My favourite was chemistry and music (I know a bit weird combination) and least favourite was unfortunately PE as it was not well organised and focused more on football at the time rather than athletics which I enjoyed and did do outside school. |

A world all of his own |
Most favourite was science as the teachers were great and I really *got* it.
Least favourite was geography as all the teacher would do is fill the entire board up with writing which we'd copy into our text boom, wipe it clean and repeat. For an entire fucking hour. I don't think I learnt a thing lol |

"My favourite was art. I hated math with a passion, I don't get on well with numbers at all. "
Yes, with you on the maths, on a Primary school report it said numbers were a total mystery to me.
Apparently there is a term for it,
like Dyslexia for people who struggle with words.. |

Oh I didn't know about that, I'll look into it. I am uneducated so it's probably just me being a dummy, but numbers always caused me so much stress as I have never ever been able to understand anything but the very basics. |

History was great especially learning about JFK and Anastasia as there was no real conclusion. So it was more opinions than facts.
I hated RE. I grew up around enough religion to make my mind up pretty early on that it wasn’t for me. |

Apparently 1 in 20 people have dyscalculia which can be identified through tests like the dyslexia ones. However, there are often other reasons and one of the most common ones is just fear of the subject and poor foundation from an early age. |

I went to a technical high school. Favourites were Motor Vehicle Studies - we got an old engine and axles from a scrapyard, and made a chassis for them, whilst learning about such things like steering geometry, rebuilding engines & gearboxes, and we got to drive it around the school playground, and Metalwork, where we had a foundry and made sandboxes for making aluminium castings.
Least favourites were PE and RE. |

Yes practical subjects like that often capture interest and also develop a huge range of skills. |

"For me my favourite was either arithmetic or geography. My least favourite was French closely followed by Russian studies.
That's private school for you 
Approved more like.  "

Least - MATHS. The father of my children is a bigwig in Finance, as has ONE of our children inherited his aptitude for numbers? Nope
Most - English and Languages. Words are my thing. Numbers are not. |

Most - History. Learning about context and inference pretty much shaped my attitude when I approach things today and learning about it just blew my mind.
Lest - Maths. It was so very by the book and boring. I was good at it when I concentrated but it just didn't keep my attention at all |
