English

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of writing classes. In regular English classes, I've always preferred reading and then being tested on it. It takes me a long time to think of anything to say when I have to write a paper, and even then it almost always ends up being too short. Also, I hate class discussions. I know that they're about half the point English, but I just don't like them. For every deep, energetic discussion that I've seen, I've seen about five where the teacher spent the entire period trying to lead the class to some point that nobody else understood, so everyone just kept raising their hands and guessing at what they were expected to say. This class I don't really mind, because at least everything we've had to do was pretty free-form so we didn't have to try to force everything we wanted to say into essay format, with a thesis statement and an introduction and conclusion and all that.
