it kind of depended on my teacher, i guess... i had one history teacher who sucked the life out of everyone and it was soooo boring, but my american history teacher in 11th grade was awesome, i made a 96 or something in that class.... i was really interested in the art classes i took (printmaking, photography, fibers, drawing, etc etc) but the art teacher was a freakin' nazi and no one really liked her, so i had a hard time wanting to put effort into everything i did.. i didn't make really good grades in those classes, but i enjoyed them the most..
