RE

no question.

And Drama.

and art and music werent useful come to think of it... lol

the one i hated was english though. so dull. and RE :)

Well done Barney for another decisive post.

Erm, technology. You got the option to drop these sort of subjects at Year 9, and yet they forced us to do one sort of technology? That just bugged me. Five years of pretending to look like I was doing something, and nothing I could take home of any value that my mum would be proud of. I did make a wonky box once though in Year 8. That was quite good for me.

English. I just cant do it. If you ask me, all these people read far too much into poems and books. Its just a bunch of words, who cares how and why the writer chose to put it together in a particular way!?

Eurgh, English infuriates me.

Hated art, dropped that at the end of year eight along with drama.

I hate maths, mainly because of tramp teacher, and science because of general dullness and horse teacher.

I quite enjoy PE because it's always a laugh, and the same goes for RE. Our teacher lets us chat during tests, that pretty much sums up the lesson really.

Everyone seems to hate english, I really enjoy it, and Law.

That's my geek side showing I think.

I quite enjoyed RE. I think it depends on whether you go to a religious school or not and whether youre strictly religious. I went to a Catholic primary school, but because im not particularly religious, it bored me to tears. I hated it. But my secondary school is non-denominational, so RE deals with moral issues like abortion, Euthanasia and such like. I always found it quite interesting!

R.E. was fun, it was just a social club :P never done any work, just pretended to listen to some teacher bang on about god and religion. Incidently the only subject i didnt get A* to C in.

Where would we be if we did'ht have rules....?

I hate RE. I know lots of people enjoy it, so I think they shouldn't have it as compulsory. It's just stupid. It's absolutely pointless and I hate the fact that I have to do it. Why not give us a choice? :x

English is my favourite, mainly because it's the one I'm best at. Granted, I don't like analysing things much, but I absolutely love reading and writing. I can get lost in a book for hours, which is something that my friends find very odd.

I hated art, design technology and that before I could drop it. I failed several design technology exams because I just can't draw and I just couldn't care. I didn't like chemistry either, because I never understood it, not to mention having a succession of crap teachers who were patronising idiots and didn't help at all.

In retrospect, now I'm at uni, I wish I'd stuck with maths and science for longer, because I'd understand more now. They seem to assume we all know what logarithms are and what a differentiated equation is and all sorts of other stuff I've never heard of. I couldn't have passed maths beyond GCSE though, I had so much trouble with it at GCSE because I just don't think mathematically.

People like this really amaze me. I cant think of anything more mind numbingly boring than reading a book. Ive studied 3 books this year in english, 3 books i have to write essays on in the final exam, and i have 5 weeks to read them. Like every other year, i'll probably just be pathetic, not read them, and wing it in the exam (which has worked so far btw!). I wish it was something i enjoyed though.

Science. Definately. I can put up with biology and physics at times but Chemisty is so bad I could actualy scratch my face off and cry. -.-

I failed it so badly last year that I've had to resit most of my modular tests to get back to a C this year.

I can't wait to drop it next year.

Also, RE, because I go a catholic school so it was compulsary at GCSE. -.- It's a waste of a subject, when we could have took something we found interesting or would actually need in the future.

    • It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html  
    • I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown
    • The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.   
    • Could this be similar to what Arielle Free did in Covid on Weekend Early Breakfast?
    • Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.
    • I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.
    • I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.
    • I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.
    • Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok? 
    • I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.
    • Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.
    • These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!
    • Friday - Nathan Dawe, Wilkinson Saturday - Jax Jones Sunday - London Grammar, Remi Woolf, AJ Tracey
    • Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air. 
    • Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.
