I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT STAND IT!!!! WHAT A WORTHLESS SUBJECT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:furious3::furious3::furious3::furious3::whip::whip::whip::whip::whip:~:angry:~:angry:~:angry:~:angr y:

I was about to fail chemistry in the 9th grade, if I would have failed, I wouldn't be in Switzerland right now.

Fe2O3 + 2Al -> 2Fe + Al2O3 + Heat

I await my visit from the DHS. ~D

Maybe its different in the US, but here by the time subjects get tough, you can choose which ones you do...

Na, chemistry is pretty much required everywhere if you want to get to university. And university is nowadays pretty much required if you want to retire at some point in your life.

Hmm that stinks. Although we have a similar situation here with Maths, along with English it was the only compulsory Higher at my school. Man that was a nightmare...

You weak lesser being. :jester:

Chemistry is cool, it's the closest thing you can get to "magical" transformation of substances. :grin:

I feel your pain. I'm taking AP chem and we basically have to teach ourselves because our teacher isn't good at explaining concepts.

yeah. whats with bad teachers teaching? i have or had at one point a bad english, math and hebrew teacher, all at some point. in fact, last year i had all 3. :no:

Chuck in maths as well.

Normally history gets to join but here in Org, we are bunch of history lovers:2thumbsup:

I had great teachers. My german one especially.

Chemistry is awesome, the same people who don't understand chemistry are the same morons signing petitions banning dihydrogen monoxide.

That the one which goes Quack Quack? :clown:

Chemistry is awesome, we got to make thermite and fireworks, and mess with chemicals. Our teachers were crazy.

true, its fun blowing stuff up, but its less fun calculating the molar mass of some random element.

At my 6th form (equivalent to your final 2 years in the US) I've not had a proper teacher all year for philosophy. The one they gave is is crazy, literally.


You can't begin to imagine how impossible it feels to thoroughly learn Immanuel Kant, the cosmological argument and psychology of religion all by yourself..

what i hate about chemistry is that i am 100% positive i will never use it in my life.

Yup, that most likely will be the case. I don't do maths any more but who knows, it might come in useful someday when somebody springs a trigonometry question on me..

Chemistry...is that the new Mexican martial art everyone is raving about?

So its like pretty much every subject you can take at school then...

Work at it though, you need that letter on a piece of paper...

Chemistry and the rest if the sciences are easy for me :yes: It helps that my teachers are awsome :smash: My other subjects are pretty good too... except...

Art.

:wall:

Luckily I don't have to draw a single thing ever again after my art exam in two weeks' time! YAY!

Personally, it was fun for me.

My favourite reaction. It's the first reaction I've seen in my class (wow, I was 7th grade then; more than 7 years ago). From this moment on, I started loving chemistry. There is much logic and you have to get rid of the prejudice.

2Na + 2HOH = 2NaOH + H2

Dangerous and spectacular. I have not done anything connected with chemistry for almost 4 years. I hope I have not done any mistakes. :beam:

I sat in the front of the classroom when someone in the back was doing that, or a similiar experiment. Upon leaving the classroom, I realised that I had a shard in my pocket. I believe there were stains in the ceiling, also. ~D

Ah, the Alkaline metals.:grin: I got to watch a potassium + water reaction in class. That was awsome. In fact, most demos and labs in chemistry are awsome. Molecular biology is a pretty interesting topic too.

edit: And Thermite! How could I forget thermite! :grin:

Like Mathematical Analisys, Algebra, Analitical Geometry and Discreet Mathematics.

I remember my 10th grade honors chem teacher telling us that you either hate chem or love it. Boy that is the truth.

It really does depend on the teacher. My 10th grade teacher made me LOVE chemistry. At one point in my high school life, I even considered making it my major in college. However, I found I hated upper the level stuff when I took AP CHEM in 11th grade. The teacher was one of the best and I scored a 5 on the AP examination, but a lot of the stuff was just plain boring to me.

Now I'm an accounting major. Funny how that works, eh?
