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.

High School English teacher conversation:
Class A student:
Hey, what'd you get on your essay, I got 90%
Class B student: 60% and I spent 4 hours on it I have a HARDASS teacher
Class A student: LOL I spent an hour and got 90%, I think it's because my teacher doesn'
t care though lol....
After 5 months of grade
