Haven’t you made it past primary school yet?

I think you responded to the wrong guy

My bad, what you wrote and quoted made no sense to me as a response to my comment or the one I responded to.

Sozialwissenschaften (social sciences/ politics and economics), compared to everything else was non trivial and not tedious content. Math and physics and CS are nice and all but talking about current Events and interpreting them using certain models was always the most fun for me. With the slight downside of having to remember all the nomenclature.
I never would have written a 20+ page homework for any other subject, but for this sowi course I dug myself through the Israeli Arab conflict in as much depth as you need to get a good general overview, and I was having fun doing it.
It helped a lot that I picked the course because I knew which teacher it was going to be held by, and that the teacher was genuinely very good.
Is recess a subject?
Science.
I always found that quite strange about some countries. It’s such a broad topic, it doesn’t make sense as a single subject. Biology, Chemistry, Physics are all perfectly good subjects on their own.
Oh, it did get split into those three subjects, but that was later in high school, IIRC.
In the US, the science courses for lower grades, like grades k through 6, are usually sort of like survey courses. So there might be one unit of biology, one unit of some really basic physics stuff, one about space, etc. Once you get into higher grades it will change over to a whole course on biology followed by chemistry the next year or whatever.

This was my favorite also. I love knowing how and why things work so all science was naturally interesting to me. Math was a close second since it felt like doing puzzles which was very satisfying. English and history were my least favorite since it involved a lot of memorization or creativity which I lack.
High school: Physics or Calculus. Loved Newtonian physics, and I was always good at advanced math (sucked at basic arithmetic for some reason, always got bored and skipped steps)
College: Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, or Fluid Dynamics. Combination of advanced math and physics, always really cool to me. Differential equations was a close fourth.
I liked my moral and ethical philosophy class, up until the professor started evangelizing to us about religion, which kinda ruined it for me
Up through high school it was math, I’m good at it and it’s all about figuring out rules rather than memorizing facts. If you were good enough at math in my school you never had to study material like you did with history or english readings, and there is a strong satisfaction to truly understanding the rules that our universe operates by. In the later years of high school I also got to try programming classes, which helped lead me to where I am today.
Lunch!
High school? Chemistry. I took it because I had no interest in biology. Turned out to be interesting, so much so that I took Chem II even though it wasn’t required to graduate.
Chem II was the hardest math class in high school. I loved it.
College? Computer Organization. It’s about how computers work down at the circuitry level. All the programming was in assembly. Easily the hardest class I took in college.
I don’t know why the hard classes were always my favorites.
Chemistry was super fascinating. I looked forward to taking chemistry since I was 9-10 years old. A lot more math than I imagined for sure!

History, one of two teachers I got that wasn’t a total asshole and he was cool, Mr Wilkens. " And “Values and standards” (don’t know how to translate it differently, we had it instead of religion), the teacher was the other human being in our school. All other teachers were sick nutcases and / or simply assholes. RIP Mr Lehrke, the small grey guy who talked with me for hours about kabbalah, mysticism and all that other stuff I was into. And he liked the cheap discount beer, like me :) He was the reason I went to University. Solely.
Well since nobody said my favorite yet ill toss out History.
I hated history as a student but now that I’m older I find it a lot more fascinating and wish I had paid better attention back then

That’s understandable. If audiobooks still dont quite do it for you there are some absolutely fantastic history podcasts out there.
Hardcore History by Dan Carlin is great for deep diving into different topics. His Supernova in the East does an excellent job of explaining things about Imperial Japan and WW2 battles in the Pacific, and his King of Kings is an excellent dive into ancient Persia and the kind of “Hollywood-ization” of the ancient greeks.
Lions Led by Donkeys is a more laid back, but still really insightful military history podcast that not only covers older military examples of poor/crazy leadership at the top (the title being a reference to an observation made about the British by a German general in WWI), but also more modern conflicts spanning the globe too.
There are plenty of others over numerous topics, but i’d be remiss if I didn’t mention both The History of Rome and Revolutions by Mike Duncan. The latter probably being my favorite history podcast so far.
Information and Technology lol. You’d think I’d take a major in computer science, right? But I actually despised math so I went to art school instead. Though I must say I feel like I didn’t like math because I suspect that I have what is basically mild dyscalculia (undiagnosed), for lack of a better term, and I’m learning some coping skills.
Maths because it’s the easiest.
Math, because I’m good at it
I had a new robotics course when I was in school . At that point I had already been doing alot with a after school robotics club . So I was basically allowed to do what ever I wanted I’m that class .
Design tech. Making stuff using power tools
