I don't think so , but since I was such a geeky bore, I may not have noticed.
2 :
I liked science in school. Math was what bored me.
3 :
I don't think so. In elementary school, science was cool, but we also did a lot of fun things like dissect fish. In middle and high school I don't think anyone cared.
4 :
Ya, but I was a geeky boring kid.
5 :
Yes. Que in our current situation.
6 :
Not really. Biology class was fascinating to me. The Dead heads made chemistry class even more interesting (on the weekends, that is). Some of them were quite gifted with their knowledge of organic chemistry. Boy, were they.
7 :
no but Religious Studies we're
8 :
Yes. Then again, so was I.
9 :
by the general student body, yes, mind now that was the mid 80's, I always excelled in science, and was one of the proverbial "geeks" - I still am
10 :
Nope LOVED science! Passed all classed with A's, maybe one B. I don't think it was every considered geeky and boring considering science is what has made the world as advance as it is right now and then some!
11 :
My old man was the head of science at a grammar school in Plymouth for 30 odd years, at the Comprehensive school I went to they thought that would make me a science whizz (when nothing, in fact, could be further from the truth) and naturally put me in the top sets for science, in which I was massively out of my depth. At the beginning of each lesson, the whole group (except me) would be gleefully indulged in chess puzzles (like the ones in the newspaper that are like a foreign language, even if you can play chess) and very complicated equations and they were doing them for recreational fun. I dive bombed of course. Everytime my old man goes on about science all I can hear is blah blah blah. I am not a dunce though, I just don't have the capacity for mathematics that is required for advanced science
12 :
I loved science and health. I didn't mind math either, it was english I hated.
13 :
When I was in high school, being smart was considered "cool", class was competitive, and people who received poor grades got made fun of for being stupid. So in short, no.
14 :
Yes, but ask the fun loving, cheerleader, surfer girl how much she could go back and be "geeky"?! Believe me when I say that 10/20 years after high school geeks rule. Study, study, learn learn learn!
15 :
No. Not at all. Kids grumbled about going to science class the same way they grumbled about all classes.
16 :
Not where I attended.
17 :
it wasn't my favorite subject, but at least they taught us about what science really is. science is theory (watch all the science people run lol) theory means: conjucture,speculation,unproven idea or opinion. All the science believers blocked us from their questions (including rev. wang woo woo) because the dictionary pwned their "theory" out of the water. some beg of the truth but cry and whine when they realize a dictionary found in any library or any country proves science is an "unproven idea". watch how many block me from this because the truth hurts sometimes.
18 :
I made straight A's in science.....but math was my favorite.
19 :
No it was a very serious business when I was at school. Where I live not many get the opportunity and I was very lucky, People are idiots if they don't take advantage of learning every aspect of their education opportunity. And they get everything they deserve for not doing so. :) Practicing Shaman... quantum physics rocks.
20 :
Not really, but the teachers didn't help the stereotype
21 :
Probably, but then, I only hung out with other geeks, so...
22 :
When I was in 6th and 7th grade I loved biology class. Even though they had the audacity to say goofy things about evolution. I will never forget how dopey it sounded to me. "The reason there are squirrels is because the predecessors of squirrels passed on their genes while those which did not survive did not pass on their genes." Of course it does make a small measure of sense, but to deny that there is intelligent design simply because those who survived passed on their genes while those who failed to survive did not -- it is the height of arrogant atheistic denial in my opinion.
23 :
Here in America, yes. and I don't have to tell you what the result looks like in the eyes of the rest of the world.
24 :
Not really, considering I was geeky and boring as well
25 :
no
26 :
Well im in 7th grade. Everybody loves science in our class. Thanks Mr. Boyer!
27 :
my science classes were considered geeky...but they were the AP college credit classes too. they certainly weren't boring though. i just wish i had been smart enough to stay with math and science in college and not go down the dreaded liberal arts degree path. why didn't i listen to my parents?
