A class that teaches students about the English language. During the early years, English is a very useful, important, and most of all fun class. By middle school, however, English class becomes a redundant class where students are taught the exact same things (basic grammar and punctuation, paragraph structuring, etc) over and over again. By high school, the fun and useful class has been completely replaced by an idiotic course where too much emphasis is placed on over-analysis and essay writing (where the teacher usually tells the students to write a five page essay that could be easily done in three), and less emphasis on creativity. High school English is the period where many idiots get the impression that Shakespeare is the only playwright to exist in EVER and that no significant literature has been published since the late Victorian era.

Possibly the gayest class on earth after 7-8th grade (Pre grade 7-8 VERY useful class). A class where one has to over analysis ever little detail in a play, story, essay etc.

Marks are solely based off what kind of teacher you have. You can have the teacher that really doesn't care that much and will give a mark of 80%+ for doing jack shit. Or you can have the kind of teacher that over analysis' ever sentence of your essay and as a result will reward you with a shitty mark (eg 60%) Even though you spent hours on the essay.

The final years of English (grade 11&12 especially 12)is, for some reason, the most important class to take and is technically the only "true" prerequisite for university or college (being that you can get into uni/college programs with only English and no need for math or the sciences and every uni/college program requires English).

In conclusion, English class can either be a walk through the park or hell on Earth for 5 months. Either way it requires you to over analysis ever little detail in plays, essays, stories etc. and make up bullshited thesis' and thematic statements that no one gives a RATS ASS ABOUT. It will usually become your most hated class (doesn't matter what teacher you have) because of the overall stupidity of it and the lack of actual knowledge gained.

probably the most useless class in school. analyzing sentences and poems and crap for no good reason. all you can really do with your knowledge about it is say "i know what a sentence is" and "i know that shakespeare wrote some crap".

Class that most math students hate but an average person loves.

A very peaceful class that sucks when you have to write a paper or have to fart

A worthless waste of time where you learn the same things that you learned when you were 2, but still manage to have teachers that have a lower IQ than a potato.

The class in which you write paper after paper and essay after essay of COMPLETE BULLSHIT. You gotta analyse the shit out of those poems and you gotta learn the shit out of those plays.

If you have ever seen depictions of hell in the bible, this will make it seem like a land of rainbows and sunshine.

The bullshitiest pile of fuck class in existence, consists of writing essays and reading books irrelevant to your life and the world and analyzing every word in a book
