gollark: A-level is hopefully going to be better, since I actually get to pick subjects I like and people who are bad at them won't be doing them.
gollark: Maths is good, though - my maths set has a really good teacher and we do (well, did when school was running) interesting and challenging stuff a lot of the time without repeating the same topic over and over again.
gollark: English is awful because we mostly overanalyze literature and write essays and stuff, but we did writing one time and that was fun.
gollark: A lot of the chemistry and physics stuff we do at school is... somewhat interesting at first, but we end up going over it again and again and doing endless worksheets for some reason, which is not very interesting.
gollark: They might actually be actively negative in some areas, since for quite a lot of people being forced to learn the boring stuff they don't care about will make them ignore the interesting bits.
