Which subject would you kill off?

if you had the chance to get rid of any subject which one would it be and why?

i would get rid of citizenship, in my school it really is pointless no one learns anything and the teachers dont know how to teach it.

URDU!!!!!!!! Don't get me started on Urdu. I've had to take it as a GCSE (I speak 8 languages so not TOO much of a problem) and it's the biggest waste of time EVER! Oxbridge and UCL don't even recognise it as a proper language qualification.

That's your choice I guess. A few members of my class were looking through university sites, as we have the option of doing it as an early AS, and saw that it's not a respected language, more so if you're Pakistani as they expect you to know it already.
Personally, I'm pissed off as they can offer such a ridiculous, pointless language as a GCSE and not Danish. Fgs.

PE is jokes at my school, no one actually does what they're supposed to and we always end up messing around :tongue:

Plus Dodgeball is amazing :biggrin:

Religious Studies for obvious reasons.

The ones I personally don't consider fun are useful, and the ones I consider important to intellectual development are less practical, but still necessary.

The only thing I'd change slightly is General Studies. It has the potential to be really enlightening, but it just ISN'T.
English literature, French and drama
"Film Studies"
